Residency
An orthopaedic residency at Thomas Jefferson University represents one of the most comprehensive and widely respected programs in the country. Strong, clinically able physicians have always represented the credo of Jefferson, and this objective still remains uppermost in our goals. Clinical research has been a welcomed addition to the orthopaedic program over the past half century with a progressive commitment to basic research as well. The current faculty continues these goals of excellence directed to clinical care, clinical and basic research, and teaching. The department is composed of 10 sections, each devoted to a particular orthopaedic specialty. The parent institution is Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and the affiliate hospitals include Bryn Mawr, Lankenau, and Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children.
