Faculty and residents hope to provide an educational and practical experience for you. Please, use your time in our department to explore the many exciting advances in the care of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries. We hope you find this clerkship stimulating and enjoyable.

It is our goal that all Iowa trainees and graduates be knowledgeable about orthopaedic problems, treat the straightforward ones in a competent way, and recognize others that need referral. We also hope to stimulate students to consider a career in orthopaedics after the completion of this clerkship.

M4 (Senior Year)
