Hello doc. I am orthopedician from outside us/Canada. I want to do fellowship in us. How competitive is it? And are we allowed to practice in us after fellowship in USA? Having a greencard. And please elaborate the requirements
Depending on what you want to do, some fellowships are more competitive than others. You can't practice in the US with just a fellowship. You need residency and board certification or eligibility. Please consult the AAOS website for specifics as every fellowship is different.
