Dear Prospective Applicants,

Paul Gregory, M.D.

Thank you for your interest in the Orthopaedic Trauma Fellowship at Sutter Roseville Medical Center.

As Program Director, I view this fellowship as more than a year of advanced training—it is a formative step in your development as an independent surgeon and future leader in orthopaedic trauma. Our goal is to create an environment where fellows are challenged, supported, and trusted to grow into confident decision-makers.

You will encounter a wide spectrum of injuries and clinical scenarios that will require not only technical skill, but also sound judgment, adaptability, and effective communication. We emphasize thoughtful, patient-centered care and expect our fellows to take ownership of their role within the team.

Equally important is our commitment to mentorship. Our faculty are invested in your success beyond fellowship, whether your path leads to academic practice, community leadership, or subspecialty focus. We strive to provide guidance, honest feedback, and opportunities that align with your individual career goals.

I am proud of the culture we have built—one grounded in respect, accountability, and collaboration. We seek fellows who are motivated, resilient, and eager to contribute to both the clinical and academic missions of our program.

We appreciate your interest and look forward to learning more about you.

Sincerely,

**Paul Gregory, MD**  
Program Director, Trauma Orthopaedic Fellowship
