There are currently 68 hand surgery fellowship programmes known to the authors in the United States and many more throughout the world. To our knowledge, there are no hand fellowships which focus on research. Such a hand surgery research fellowship is being developed to provide this training. This paper outlines the goals and objectives of the intended 2 year training programme and includes a description of the fellowship. The first year would be mostly committed to learning research methods and the second would be a clinical hand fellowship. This will combine clinical expertise in hand surgery, practical research experience and formal research training. Hand researchers would learn research methods, develop innovative research ideas and begin an active research and academic career.

Key Words: fellowship • hand • programme • research
