Didactic Calendar
Didactic education is an integral part of training orthopedic physicians. Educational conferences are broken into one-hour sessions held 4 times per week. Our orthopedic faculty give lectures related to their subspecialty areas, with a mix of OITE prep, Grand Rounds, and student led lectures and presentations. Twice per month residents spend dedicated time in the Bioskills Lab learning through hands on surgical skills practice.
