The formal  educational program  includes structured orthopaedic teaching conferences in fracture management, subspecialty core conferences, grand rounds, indications conference, morbidity and mortality quality assurance conferences, small group service-specific conferences, and basic science and anatomy conferences, all of which provide a comprehensive curriculum of  fundamental orthopaedics. Involvement with research is required and encouraged for all orthopaedic residents.  Residents are given dedicated time for research in both the five-and  six-year programs, through which they gain invaluable  experience in all facets of research; from proposal preparation and experimental design to podium presentations and manuscript submission. Residents are required to produce one peer-reviewed publication prior to graduation.
