Graduate Medical Education
Residency in Orthopedic Surgery

Didactics

In addition to clinical teaching, weekly didactic conferences are held. These conferences cover topics that include:

  • surgical indications
  • pediatric orthopedics
  • surgical anatomy
  • sports medicine
  • basic sciences
  • the histopathology of musculoskeletal disorders

At weekly grand rounds, residents present interesting cases followed by discussion with the attending staff. A cadaver is provided for orthopedic residents yearly for their basic anatomy course. Weekly sports medicine, joint replacement and spine conferences provide additional opportunity for learning.

Distinguished visiting professors are invited several times a year for lectures and discussions with the resident staff. Workshops on technical skills in orthopedic surgery are held during the year to give the residents additional hands-on exposure to specialized surgical skills.
