LSU Ortho Student Research Fellowship
This opportunity allows highly motivated students interested in orthopedics to be integrated into our academic orthopedics department for a year. You will be in constant conversation with faculty, residents, and department researchers as you learn the basics of research design, methodology, data analysis, and how to navigate the process from IRB application to manuscript submission. In addition to research, there are weekly opportunities for clinical exposure including surgery, clinic and department conferences.
