Orthopaedic Surgery Resident @Hospital for Special Surgery

NY, US

Since 1887, the HSS Orthopaedic Residency Program has set the standard for orthopaedic training across the United States. It began as a one-year program in which young physicians actually lived in the Hospital while caring for patients — this was, in fact, the first use of the term “residency.” Today, residency is a rigorous five-year immersion into all aspects of musculoskeletal disease. Not only do the residents become adept at every type of orthopaedic procedure, they also master the patient relations skills that are at the heart of the practice of humanistic medicine.The HSS residency is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). With each admissions cycle, HSS matches nine first-year residents (postgraduate year ones – PGY1s).Upon completion of the residency program, HSS graduates are prepared to take their talents and expertise to top academic medical centers and hospitals all over the country. Most are matched to competitive fellowship programs and take on academic and private-practice positions. HSS alumni also hold leadership positions in many national medical organizations.Hospital for Special Surgery is an elective musculoskeletal surgery hospital located on the Upper East Side of New York City. Additional regional HSS sites are located in White Plains, NY; Fresh Meadows, Queens; Uniondale, Long Island; Paramus, NJ; and Stamford, CT. HSS is affiliated with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and Weill Cornell Medicine, and our physicians and residents provide medical services for both institutions. Residents rotate at the HSS ASC of Manhattan and West Side ASC. The Hospital\'s large outpatient services component includes more than 20 specialty clinics weekly, which focus on pediatrics, cerebral palsy, sports medicine, trauma, arthritis, and scoliosis, as well as on treating problems of the hip, foot, hand, spine, and knee.
