Residents
Our faculty and staff are dedicated to providing comprehensive training to orthopaedic surgeons in training. We offer a five-year program (four per year) and a six-year option (one per year), that allows for a dedicated year for research following the PGY-2 clinical year.
Residents rotate at three-month intervals on subspecialty services, working as small practice groups led by the chief residents, and receive close supervision and teaching from attending staff.
