The mission of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation is to provide medical students and residents with the best possible education in the total care and treatment of the musculoskeletal system. The department's mission is achieved through three primary goals:

  • A structured educational program for orthopaedic residents consisting of four hours per week of formal teaching;
  • Daily rounds, instruction, and mentoring of medical students and residents by full-time faculty at hospital-based clinics and on surgical floors while treating patients with a broad spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions;
  • Actively pursuing research and the publication of papers and abstracts as well as presentations at local and national conferences.
