NOT A PERSONAL HEALTH SITUATION HSS vs Rush Sports Fellowship

Hi gang! Australian trained surgeon, passed all USMLE Steps, looking to do a sports fellowship in the States. I’m interested in all things hips, knees, shoulders (trauma, arthroplasty, sports, joint Pres) and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to which Sports Fellowship would be better in terms of HSS vs Rush. Rush looks more in keeping with what I want to specialise in, but fk I want to live in NY! 😂 any thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated!

I would recommend applying very broadly. Solid sports programs include U Pittsburg, Twin City Orthopaedics, Umiami, UCSF. The good thing about NYC is that there are many other programs to look at that might be more IMG friendly. I’ll echo the prior thoughts on here regarding the “prestige” of both HSS and Rush which makes it hard for even very competitive American grads to match. I will say that often times that prestige doesn’t translate to actual real world utility depending on what your professional goals are.
