Carilion Clinic Orthopedic Surgery PA Residency

PA Postgraduate Program at a Glance

• Specialty: Orthopedic Surgery
• Location: Roanoke, VA
• Accreditation: Not ARC-PA Accredited
• Program length: 12 months
• Positions per year: 2 per year
• Stipend / salary: $68,640 (shared figure — Carilion’s “Fellowship Salary and Benefits” node, carilionclinic.org/node/1992993012, which ALL NINE NP/PA fellowships link to. The source states only “$68,640” with no period label; corroborated as an APP salary on Carilion’s physician wilderness-medicine page: “Salary of approximately $68,640 plus institutional benefits will be available.” The separate “$2,500 CME” on the same node is an allowance, NOT salary, and is excluded.)
• Benefits: Full medical/dental/disability; BLS/ACLS/PALS, moving expenses
• Credential awarded: Certificate
• Eligibility: PA or NP (NP needs RNFA cert)
• Application deadline: Rolling — “Rolling application process”; “Interviews occur in October and November.” No date published.
• How to apply: Direct application
• Start date: ⚠️ Carilion’s own page contradicts itself: the overview says the department “starts full-time fellows in the Summer (July-August) and Winter (January-February)”, while the timetable on the same page says “Fellowship starts end of January.” Both recorded; neither chosen.
• Setting & rotations: Orthopaedic surgery; Carilion Clinic, Roanoke VA

Not ARC-PA accredited — which is normal for PA postgraduate programs and is not a mark against this one. Its sponsoring institution is an APPAP member, but APPAP does not list this individual program, so we make no per-program claim; verify current status with the program.
