Our program provides a challenging, comprehensive educational and clinical experience for PAs. As a resident, you’ll receive specialty training to prepare you for a rewarding career in orthopaedic surgery.
Our residency program is thirteen months long, including one month of orientation. The program is based on six essential areas of orthopaedic surgery: trauma, total joint arthroplasty, hand and upper extremity, sports medicine, spine, and pediatrics. You will be part of the on-call team, with strong emphasis on managing trauma patients.
The didactic curriculum mirrors that of the physician resident. There will be lectures, labs, reading assignments, journal club discussions, and weekly check-ins with the program director through office hours. There will also be ongoing case presentations and discussions with attending physicians and medical staff.
You will rotate through our Medical Center (a Level 1 Trauma Center), Children’s Hospital, East Campus medical center, and Faculty Medical Group facilities.
Research opportunities are available for those who are interested.
“Through our residency program, you will push your limits and reach a potential far beyond your expectations. You will begin to think and function similar to an orthopaedic surgeon.”
With your help, we can make ambitious innovations in clinical care and education for our community.
