Jaclyn Jankowski receives placement in Department of Orthopaedics, University Hospital, University of Mississippi for clinical and research internship

Jaclyn Jankowski, OMS I, who was selected in March as one of 20 first-year medical students for the Nth Dimension Orthopaedic Fellowship, an eight-week clinical and research internship with orthopaedic surgeons nationwide, recently learned that she has been placed at the University Hospital at the University of Mississippi to work under Dr. George Russell, the chair of the Department of Orthopaedics.

The Nth Dimension Orthopaedic Fellowship is a four-year developmental program that is designed to expose medical students to the field throughout their medical school matriculation. During the student’s 2nd-4th years of matriculation, the students receive core support from their internship preceptor and are encouraged to develop relationships with other orthopaedic surgeons through interactions and mentoring activities during annual programs at the annual meeting of the AAOS, J. Robert Gladden Society and Ruth Jackson Orthopaedic Society meetings.

The orthopaedic surgeon preceptors are members of varying ethnic and gender minority groups who have been specifically selected because of their teaching and mentoring achievements in the field of orthopaedics.
