CENTER AVAILABLE FOR EDUCATION COURSES OR RESEARCH

Skills Lab, Research Facility, Teaching Center
Provides hands-on experience for surgeons and researchers

The Johns Hopkins International Center for Orthopaedic Advancement was the brain child of James F. Wenz, M.D. The Center is devoted to advancing the practice of orthpaedic surgery through surgeon education and basic research.

The lab hosts Johns Hopkins Orthopaedic Grand Rounds twice a month on Thursdays at 7am, and our residents train in the lab until noon on those days. On other days, including weekends, the skills lab is available for training sessions hosted by groups from the private sector and/or government on a rental basis.

The biomechanics lab is also available on a fee-for-service basis for testing or contractual research. The two facilites enable researchers to conduct mock surgeries to trial new implants or mechanically challenge them in a lab setting.
