Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation

Medical Education Program- Senior Elective


I. Course Description

During your clinical clerkship with us, we hope to acquaint you with the general scope of Orthopaedics; the problems and general methods of dealing with them. Time is brief so ask questions and enter into discussion, and read.

Career consideration

If you have decided on a career in Orthoapedics, take the rotation early in the senior year. It will make residency application easier. You will already be known to our faculty for interview here and for letters of reference to other programs.

Other specialties

A thorough working knowledge of Orthopaedics is an advantage in numerous other areas including:

  • Family Practice
  • Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
  • Rheumatology
  • Neurology/Neurosurgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Pediatrics
  • Exercise Science
  • Physical Therapy
