There are six attendings working at this institution. This affiliation's main objective is to understand evaluate and treat disorders of the foot and ankle in an office setting and to surgically treat common disorders of the foot and ankle. It is a continuation of our teaching relationship with Dr. Keith Wapner and Dr. Paul Hecht who have recently changed their venue to Pennsylvania Hospital. The Philadelphia Orthopaedic Society meets once a month at the College of Physicians and Surgeons with a guest speaker available before and after the lecture for informal discussion over refreshments and appetizers. Attendance is strongly encouraged.
Conferences are highly interactive and comprise a large segment of resident education.
Conferences are held at each of the various institutions weekly. Pediatric Conference is held on Monday mornings. The conferences are in the lecture and discussion format and provide an excellent opportunity for education and interaction between residents and attendings. Grand rounds are typically held monthly and include visiting professors of national renown. Instructional anatomy dissections are performed with Henry Sherk, M.D. in the Summer and Fall Sessions.
