Curriculum

A didactic curriculum for basic and clinical sciences is taught by the faculty with an emphasis on resident participation. Information is kept on a password protected website.

To supplement these sessions, Grand Rounds are conducted each Thursday. Several additional courses in each subspecialty as well as in pathology, anatomy, and OITE review are given throughout the year.

Each participating service hospital (JHU, Bayview, Good Samaritan, Union Memorial) also has its own series of sub-specialty teaching conferences. Residents attend the conferences appropriate to each rotation.

In addition, two 3-hour Thursday-morning teaching sessions per month are held in the International Center for Orthopaedic Advancement, which combines a surgical dissection suite with an instrument development lab. Here residents become familiar with implants, devices and instruments for orthopaedic surgery and receive hands-on experience with sawbones and cadavers.
