INTRODUCTION: We aimed to describe the demographic and professional backgrounds of current shoulder and elbow fellowship directors.

METHODS: The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) 2021 to 2022 Fellowship Directory was reviewed to identify the 31 ASES-recognized US fellowship programs. Demographic and other data were obtained through an electronic survey and publicly available online resources from February 28, 2021, to March 5, 2021.

RESULTS: Of the 31 fellowship directors, 97% (30) identified as male and 74% (23) as White, the mean age was 53 +/- 7 years, and the mean Scopus h-index was 24.2 +/- 13. Almost all (95%) held ASES committee leadership appointments in at least one committee. The mean time from completion of most recent fellowship to fellowship director appointment was 7.3 +/- 6 years. About two-thirds of fellowship directors trained at one of five fellowship programs: Columbia University (n = 7), California Pacific Orthopaedics (n = 4), Washington University in St. Louis (n = 3), Mayo Clinic (n = 3), and Hospital for Special Surgery (n = 2).
