Orthopaedic Trauma Fellowship Match

The Fellowship Match for Orthopaedic Trauma (OTA Match) was established in 2008. Its goal is to coordinate fellowship appointments, thus relieving the pressure of uncoordinated appointments and forced early choices. The participating programs will not make any appointments until the match has been completed.

The Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) sponsors the matching process and is responsible for enforcement of applicable rules. The Matching office does not sponsor or approve any of the participating programs. The function of the Matching Program is strictly limited to processing of the match. Listing or not listing of any program in the directory does not imply any form of approval, disapproval or endorsement.
The Match is deemed mandatory by the Board of Directors of the OTA. All participating Orthopaedic Trauma fellowship program directors are members of the OTA.
