Curriculum & Education
Overview
The PGY-1 year is an orthopaedic year that meets all current requirements from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS), providing an excellent background in general surgery and the surgery subspecialties. The PGY-2 through PGY-5 years are spent solely within the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery with residents rotating through all the major subspecialties. As the years in training increase, so does the level of resident responsibility, culminating in a PGY-5 or chief resident year. Upon successful completion of the program, residents are eligible for board certification through the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery.
