What are some of the programs that come to mind? I am interested in ortho trauma and would like to go to a program that is strong in trauma training.

Emory
UTSW

You must be a glutton for punishment!
Glad someone out there wants to do trauma for a living!

It's kind of a sleeper, but the University of Kentucky is a very trauma-heavy program. He take care of wild drunken rednecks who like to ride ATV's off of cliffs. An exceptional amount of tabs and platueaus come of this kind of nonsense.

I would say most residencies will have an abundance of trauma, unless your are at a small community hospital. You may find out after a while, that the trauma lifestyle is pretty poor at most institutions and you lose interest in it. If you find during residency that you are really interested in becoming a trauma surgeon, then you can pursue a fellowship in it.

Brown... heavy on trauma and you get to actually operate as a resident... the 6th year resident/ jr. attending is the "trauma fellow" and man is there a ton!

You can go on to do an "accredited" fellowship in trauma if you like (which i think one of our guys may be doing???)... or something else... We got Trafton (one of the Skeletal Trauma authors...)

Grand Rapids also has one other fellowship trained traumatologist in town and has another returning this summer. They have a dedicated ortho trauma room that goes 24 hours a day.

How about a balanced operative experience AND an exceptional trauma experience:

CWRU - there's a well known trauma guy here that could take piece of bubble gum and a drinking straw and fix just about anything .

Bonejock you sound like the dumbest guy I've ever met, half the time I don't know what the h$%& you're talking about. You really don't make a good impression for the Case residency.

I'll tell you one of the most trauma heavy places in the northeast: Boston University. These guys, when they are on call, get no sleep, they are up all night one trauma after another. If you are interested in becoming a traumatologist, you get to work with tornetta, a big name in this area.

this reply is specifically for silver pubes joe (why on earth anyone would choose that as a screen name is just inviting pain upon yourself). i don't know if i want to buy into all of this chest beating, but if i may clarify for my fellow resident bone jock:
we have FOUR harborview fellowship trained attendings, two hss fellowship joint attendings, several very well known spine attendings, and so on. what he was trying to say is that we have other things in addition to an excellent trauma experience. i'm sure lots of programs have good trauma, as it's the basis for other principles of orthopaedic management, as dr. langland alluded to.

SilverPubesJoe,

Based on your screen name (and that last rediculously ignorant post), I'd guess that you have about two neurons in your skull and they're both fighting each other. The fact is, I'm in a pretty sweet residency program. I'm gonna be well trained when I'm done. And the best of all, I don't have to train with idiots like yourself. As I have mentioned before, if you have nothing nice to post on orthogate, do us all a favor and don't post at all.
