As with all surgical specialties, orthopedic surgeons need good hands, coordination and visual-spatial acumen. Stamina and strength are also important in orthopedic surgery, a physically demanding specialty.

The ability to practice my surgical skills in the cadaver lab throughout my residency is an invaluable opportunity not seen at other programs.
Having the opportunity to become familiar with the basics of orthopedic surgery in an environment such as the lab is extremely beneficial to my learning. During PGY-2, you spend six months on basic science, three months on the Orthopedic Trauma Service, and three months as a senior resident.
Your assignments vary somewhat according to your needs and prior experience. The six-month Orthopedic Knowledge and Skills basic science course includes didactic lectures presented by orthopedic staff members and faculty from allied fields, laboratory sessions, extensive reading, clinical conferences, and the opportunity to perform clinically relevant research.
Lecture topics include a broad spectrum of science related to the musculoskeletal system, such as:. These topics are reinforced with laboratory experiences such as anatomy cadaver dissection , motor skills and microvascular surgery laboratories. You also learn about orthopedic tools, instruments, and implants, and how they are used in trauma and reconstructive surgery. One of my favorite components of the program is our Orthopedic Knowledge and Skills curriculum a.
