76:201 - Advanced Clinical Orthopaedics
Objectives:
The student will:
- develop in-depth skill in the physical diagnosis and approach to diseases
of the musculoskeletal system;

This will be achieved by:
- participation in the service of the student's choice including adult
orthopaedics (VA), children's orthopaedics, adult reconstruction, low
back, sports medicine, or tumor/foot teams
- duties will be analogous to those of an intern with responsibility
for patient care in clinic, in the hospital, and the operating room
- participation in staff conferences and rounds including presentation
of patients for discussion
- development of surgical and non-surgical skills including plaster
work in the care of patients
