Our residency program continues
to train leaders and we are proud to have comprehensive facilities
and a dedicated cadre of research and teaching faculty. Our residents
spend the majority of their time at the Columbia Presbyterian Campus
of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in northern Manhattan and also
rotate at the University of Maryland /Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore
Maryland. Our away rotation in Baltimore gives our residents rich
experience in level 1 trauma and spine surgery; an excellent complement
to our regular level 2 adult and level 1 Pediatric experience at
home.
Our residents all participate
in a wide variety of research projects. Every year, residents are
given the opportunity to present these projects at national meetings.
Our clinical research is often done in close collaborations with
the Columbia University School of Public Health and with other clinical
departments. Some residents undertake basic science research through
the Columbia Center for Orthopedic Research (COR).
I encourage you to ask
questions and discuss the program with our current residents. Finally,
I hope this website allows you to gain some valuable information
concerning our program and we look forward to meeting you in the
future. We encourage 4th year students to spend a month on our service
- if you are interested, please contact the office of student affairs
