Kamil is currently a MSIV at Penn.’s Perelman SOM and looks forward to finishing medical school and starting his orthopaedic training later this year. “Dr. Della Valle’s research fellowship was an invaluable experience. Spending a full year working under one of the most respected clinical researchers in orthopaedics taught me how to effectively design, coordinate, and publish various studies. Therefore, going into my residency, I feel confident that I have the tools to complete any type of research project. In addition, Dr. Della Valle’s mentorship has helped me greatly as I go through the residency application process. I would highly recommend this fellowship to anyone interested in academic orthopaedics.”
