Squaw Valley Ski Area

Each Fellow spends a month at the medical clinic located at the base of Squaw Valley Ski Resort. 25 to 40 patients per day are seen in the clinic, most of which are traumatic ski and snowboard injuries. This is an excellent opportunity to develop skills such as suturing, acute fracture management and dislocated joint reduction. The experience is very much “hands on” and one of the highlights of the fellowship year.
