Orthopedic Surgery Residency Program

The Orthopedic Surgery Residency Program prepares surgeons for successful careers
by offering an invigorating and comprehensive training experience. The numerous
hands-on opportunities instill confidence and expertise, underscored by quality
didactic training. Residents experience a broad scope of health care within the
hospital and clinic settings and are encouraged to show leadership and participate in
advancing the area of orthopedic surgery.

Our Orthopedic Surgery Residency Program is a five-year (60 month) osteopathic
post-graduate program. The program is an AOA-approved residency with both DO
