Physician-Scientist Orthopaedic Residency Program at WakeForestUniversity
The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at WakeForestUniversity is in its tenth year of offering a 7-year, integrated training program in academic orthopaedic surgery and is seeking applicants for the entering class of 2008.
Residents in the Physician-Scientist Training Program begin their training with 2 years of uninterrupted laboratory research, followed by WakeForests standard 5-year clinical training program.
Current basic science research includes the following:
-Tissue engineering of tendon and ligament
-Tissue engineering of meniscus
-Bioengineered scaffolds for nerve regeneration
-Role of aging in nerve regeneration
-Role of aging in meniscus degeneration
-Dormant S. aureus and osteomyelitis
-Sensory nerve function and fracture healing
-Scoliosis
As part of the research mission, two current residents are concurrently enrolled in Ph.D.-granting programs in Neuroscience and Molecular Medicine.
The clinical training at WakeForest is unsurpassed in the region. Residents have a full clinical experience in all sub-specialty areas. Recent graduating residents have placed in a variety of fellowships including Trauma, Hand, Sports, Foot & Ankle, and Total Joints. Residents enjoy a high level of autonomy throughout the program and are well prepared for fellowship training or as general orthopaedic surgeons.
Applicants are expected to be competitive in terms of USMLE scores, grades and recommendations. In addition, interest and experience in research is heavily weighted. During the research years, salary is commensurate with NIH guidelines for post-doctoral fellows.
Interested applicants should contact Dr. Tom Smith at the email address below. Full applications will be accepted via the ERAS system.
This position is filled outside of the NRMP match. Due to the unique nature of this program, the NRMP has granted an exemption to the Match for US Seniors. Upon the offer of a position in this program, the NRMP will release the applicant from the Match.
The Physician-Scientist Training Program does not sponsor J1 or H1B visas. Permanent residency or US citizenship is required for the clinical aspect of the program.
Inquiries should be directed to Thomas L. Smith, PhD ([email protected])
