We promote experiential learning in the context of providing superb patient care. The University of Maryland Medical System is the dominant provider of orthopaedic care in Maryland. The training program is intense and comprehensive, with extensive early operative experience and progressive responsibility.

We enjoy state-of-the-art resources for clinical care, research, and surgical training/simulation. Most importantly, our residents are happy, and our graduates are proficient, skilled orthopaedic surgeons who are comfortable managing the full spectrum of orthopaedics from the routine to the ultra-complex.
