The hand surgery fellowship is a one-year program sponsored jointly by University of Kentucky Plastic Surgery and UK Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine. It accepts one applicant each year.

The fellow will divide their time equally between the surgical disciplines.  The experience will lead to the attainment of board certification in hand surgery. The fellow‘s experience will include the UK HealthCare hospitals and Hand Clinic, The Shriner’s Hospital for Children, and the Lexington VA Hospital. All qualified applicants will be considered.

For application information, a letter of interest and current CV should be sent to the attention of Dr. David Drake via email to:
