IGOT Research Fellowship (supported by the Morgan and Madison McClellan International Research fund)
The Institute for Global Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Global Research Initiative, offers the IGOT Research Fellowship (supported by the Morgan and Madison McClellan International Research fund). The 10-month to 1-year opportunity is for third and fourth-year medical students interested in orthopaedic surgery and global health. The specialist research position is designed to build upon fundamental skills and hands-on research experience critical to implementing orthopaedic research projects globally. This endowed fellowship was started by a generous gift from Dr. Trigg McClellan of the Orthopaedic Trauma Institute in honor of his daughters, Morgan and Madison McClellan. A stipend will be provided to the research fellow for living expenses including UCSF benefits.
