Courses and Conferences

Late in the PGY-2 year or early in the PGY-3 year, residents are asked to attend the AO Basic Fracture Management course. The department pays for travel expenses. Vacation time does not have to be used to attend the course.

Residents are encouraged to present papers at national meetings. For the principal author, time spent presenting a paper is in addition to the standard four weeks vacation.

Manuscripts, abstracts, and meetings must have departmental approval before residents schedule a presentation. Each paper may be presented at only one meeting.
