GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This elective gives students the opportunity to get experience in the field of orthopedic research.

Students will work independently or with a resident doctor/fellow on research projects. There is great flexibility in this program so students can meet their own goals. (This experience is invaluable for students interested in Orthopedic Surgery and students who are interested in doing clinical or experimental research.)

METHODS OF STUDENT EVALUATION:
The student is not expected to complete a project during one semester, but the student should be involved in the research. The requirements for successful completion are that the student be actively involved in the research project throughout a semester.
The student may simply assist a resident doctor/fellow with collecting data, or the student may wish to work independently from start to finish with a research project.
