Cedars-Sinai Medical Center provides surgical and outpatient experience in orthopaedic oncology, joint arthroplasty, adolescent and adult sports medicine, foot and ankle, spine, and pediatric orthopaedics. With no on-call duty requirement, the Cedars rotation represents an excellent learning environment in elective orthopaedic reconstructive care.
Institutional support is extremely strong, with an administration commitment to strengthing and growing the Orthopaedic Center into a premier entity within the medical center. The 3 month format of the rotation provides an excellent opportunity for continuity of patient care from pre-admission through the post-discharge phase of care. A clinical or basic research project is required. It is expected that this be submitted for presentation at a regional or national meeting, and for publication. Residents participate in monthly orthopaedic conferences with orthopaedic staff and attendings. |
