Hand and Upper Extremity Fellowship
Hand Fellowship Director; Professor of Orthopaedics, Clinician Educator

Brown’s profile heading lists Professor, Clinician Educator, while an older paragraph says Associate Professor. The biography uses supported training and research facts without choosing between those academic-rank labels.
