Educational Opportunities

The orthopaedic oncology group under the auspices of the university of Miami and Jackson Memorial Hospital are for post graduate educational opportunities in clinical orthopaedic oncology, clinical epidemiology of mesenchymal malignancies and basic laboratory investigation into molecular mechanisms. Also offered are graduate education at the masters and doctoral level in cell biology and molecular pharmacology. Each of the educational opportunities is integrated into a clinical setting for maximal opportunity for translation from the bench to the bedside. An emphasis is placed on training surgeon/scientists and a surgeon/scientist training tract can be incorporated into the orthopaedic oncology fellowship experience. Compensation follows the University of Miami and NIH guidelines.  

A Review Course in Musculoskeletal Oncology is given each spring for orthopaedic residents and practitioners. The course is taught by a multiple-disciplinary faculty from the University of Miami and the Moffitt Cancer Center. The emphasis is on clinical-radiographic- pathologic correlation and serves as a preparation for board examinations or an update on current practice patterns. The format is interactive as well as didactic teaching and has been well received by past attendees. The course is held at the Cheeca Lodge the finest luxury oceanfront resort in the Florida Keys. The property sits on 27 lush acres in Islamorada, "the sport fishing capital of the world." The upcoming course is scheduled for June 10-12, 2005 and interested parties can register online at http://www.moffitt.usf.edu/
