The Department of Surgery and Division of Orthopedics consider resident attendance at meetings to be an important part of their education. Therefore, we'll provide financial support for residents to attend one meeting during their PGY 1 and 2 years, as well as to attend one meeting during each of their PGY3, PGY4 years, and funding to attend two meetings during their PGY5 year. Further, the Division of Orthopedics supports and encourages senior residents to attend the COA Basic Science course and the CORR review courses, St. Justine Pediatric review course and CORF review course.
In order to encourage resident research, if an individual attends meetings in addition to the foregoing with the purpose of presenting a scientific communication, the Department of Surgery will accept applications for additional funding.
