CHOP Medical Career Design Fellowship

The Division of Orthopaedics at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) funds a select number of Medical Career Design (MCD) Fellowships to allow recent college graduates the opportunity to explore many aspects of a medical career — research, clinical practice, education, advocacy and leadership. Each MCD fellow spends two years as an essential member of our research and clinical teams, mentored by our thought-leading faculty from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. CHOP’s Division of Orthopaedics was ranked #1 in the country by U.S. News & World Report for 2023-24.

The central aspect of the MCD fellow’s work will be coordinating and facilitating clinical research, including:

• Subject recruitment

• IRB submissions and renewals

• Data analysis/manuscript preparation

• Monitoring/maintaining data for study group databases and multicenter registries

This will include training in research ethics, research subject protections, clinical science study design, methodology, data analytics and statistical methodology. Successful MCD fellows will have opportunities to co-author medical journal submissions and are encouraged to present results at regional and national meetings. Through this immersive experience, the MCD fellow will learn how to initiate, design, complete and communicate clinical research. Each week, MCD fellows will work in our clinics as a scribe, helping our attending physicians with patient visits by populating medical records. The scribe role offers the MCD fellow a unique front-line physician shadowing role in performing a history and physical exam, interpreting image and lab data, and formulating clinical decisions.
