Program Overview
This is a five-year program with ACGME initial accreditation status. We are currently approved for 15 residency positions and are accepting three new residents per year. The goal of the orthopedic surgery residency program is to provide quality training and education to physicians who desire to prepare themselves for the practice of orthopedic surgery. Our program is guided by experienced and dedicated faculty who provide a stimulating educational, clinical and academic environment with more than 150 years of total experience.
