The PGY-1 year is primarily spent at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and is coordinated in conjunction with the Department of Surgery. The PGY-1 year is a transitional year that is divided into 13 four-week rotations on a variety of surgical and primary care services.
The goal of the PGY-1 year is to provide the basics of care and evaluation of the surgical patient. During the 12-week rotation on Orthopaedics, the time will split between Jefferson University and Bryn Mawr Hospital.
At Jefferson Hospital, the PGY-1 will learn how to care for both the Spine/Trauma and Joint services. This will be excellent preparation for the large amount of responsibilities that PGY-2's will under take. Bryn Mawr Hospital exposes the PGY-1 to basic fracture care and management. PGY-1's will become comfortable evaluating, managing, and treating fractures in the Emergency Room as well as consultations on the hospital floor.
Time spent on the orthopaedics, rehabiltation medicine, non-operative sports medicine and radiology is preparation for the clinical responsibilities of the orthopaedic resident.
