Medical Student Information

The faculty and staff are committed to directing an educational experience that will provide you with the knowledge and skill to deliver quality, humanistic orthopaedic care upon graduation. We are dedicated to your personal and professional growth.

Program Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide the highest quality patient care in a diverse academic community that fosters an effective educational experience and supports the pursuit of new scientific knowledge that improves the clinical outcome of our treatment of musculoskeletal disease.

Excellence in patient care is of the utmost importance and is inseparable from the resident educational experience. At all times, orthopaedic residents are expected to project professionalism in both appearance and demeanor. A congenial and courteous working relationship must be maintained with all clinical and academic staff. The actions of every member of the Department reflect upon the entire Department, rather than solely on any one individual.

Resident Mission Statement

The residents of the University of Maryland Department of Orthopaedics are committed to continuing the highest standards of patient care, obligation to community and lifelong education, as established by past and present leaders in our profession. In an ever-changing medical environment, our fundamental principles as Orthopaedists must endure and our duty to those in our care must extend beyond the working day. With continued devotion to our patients, cooperation with our colleagues and dedication to our studies we pledge to foster these core values throughout our training and careers.
