Jonas L. Matzon
Program Director
The official fellowship page distinguishes Jonas L. Matzon as Program Director from Rick Tosti as Associate Program Director. The earlier combined director string is corrected. The linked Richard J. Tosti individual profile calls the role Co-Director; the programme page says Associate Program Director. Both sources are retained without silently resolving the discrepancy.

Rick Tosti, named Richard J. Tosti on the linked individual practice profile, is an orthopaedic surgeon specialising in hand, wrist and elbow conditions.
