This course consists of supervised clinical experience in the primary care of both adult inpatients and outpatients with a major emphasis on reconstructive types of orthopaedic surgery. Students have a great deal of individual ward and surgical responsibility and will be expected to present their cases.
Students function at the junior resident level.
While students do not take call themselves, they may choose to take call with the resident to whom they are assigned. Recommended for students interested in orthopaedic surgery careers and for students choosing a surgery track interest in a non-orthopaedic surgery career. Students will be evaluated on the above objectives by staff. The University of Minnesota is an equal opportunity educator and employer.
