16 weeks. 14 if you don't specialize.
Sweet. I can't wait to pair my spine specialization training with the MBA I received from Phoenix University after just 12 hours online.
ITT Tech offers a combined MBA/Orthopaedic Surgery program.
People ooh and ahh when you tell em you went to Phoenix University. It's similar to the reaction you get coming from Harvard. On a much larger scale.
a hundred bucks the poster just looked at this link

Residency can be variable lengths depending on how quickly you make progress. Personally, I've found the first few online modules to be quite straightforward and I'm hoping to get finished everything in 4 years. Specializing in spine takes a bit extra-most people find a chiropracter to shadow for anywhere from 6 months to a year.
If you don't like having to take that long to get Board Certified, there's always the Doctor of Nurse Practitioner in Orthopedics (DNPO) pathway. For more information on what they do, check the website for Doctoral Orthopaedic Nursing Guidelines (www.dong.org).
So in summary, residency is not as LONG if you go DONG..
Sorry jkjkjk, orthopods can be big jerks sometimes...

I've heard about a program in Moldavia where you can get done in 3 years! Sounds great to me!
Best of luck!
