Targeted areas include patient optimization, high-risk and at-risk patients, diverse patient populations, the impact of the site of care, registry-based research, and advanced technologies in joint arthroplasty. Recipient programs explain how funding will improve fellowship education and commit to using the AAHKS Adult Reconstruction Fellowship Guidelines, which provide a didactic and clinical curriculum for fellows.
