Conferences
The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Thomas Jefferson University has developed a balanced program of both didactic and group participation conferences to foster and encourage resident education. Conferences held weekly include:
- Grand Rounds
- Operative Technique and Basic Skills Conference
- Patient Management
- Pediatric Orthopaedic Conference
- Anatomy Conference
- Spine And Joint Surgery Conference
- Basic Science Conference
- Spinal Cord Injury Conference
- Fracture Conference
- Sports Medicine Conference
- JBJS Journal Review
- Pathology Conference
All conferences are lead by dedicated attending physicians in each subspecialty and resident participation is required. Residents actively participate at all levels of this conference program and take an active role in the education of medical students who rotate through the orthopaedic service.
Grand Rounds include approximately one visiting professor per month. All affiliate hospitals have their own independent conference schedules for the rotating residents.
Residents have full access to Scott Memorial Library located on the Jefferson campus. This library houses more than 150,000 volumes and 1,700 journal titles. Full Internet access and university email capabilities are also available to all residents. Residents also have 24-hr access to the educational orthopaedic library at the Rothman Institute. This library, dedicated to resident education, has not only a complete set of the basic orthopaedic texts, but also a large supply of orthopaedic multimedia focused on improving resident education. These include past Orthopaedic in-training exams and past subspecialty self-assessment exams.
