I am one of the medical students that did not match this year and will be doing a preliminary surgery year. I have been told there is a specific set of rotations that I need to request so that my intern year can count towards orthopaedics should a PGY2 slot becomes available next year.

I checked the AAOS site and could not find such a list.

Does anybody out there know what rotations are required?

How about knowing where to find this information?

Thanks.

on the ACGME website, you can go to the residency review committee link. For orthopaedic there are a couple of RRC's, but you want the residency one. I've included the link to the pdf file at the bottom. Here is the section on PGY-1 requirements.


In order to meet these goals the PGY-1 year must include
a. a minimum of six months of structured education in surgery, to
include multi-system trauma, plastic surgery/burn care, intensive
care, and vascular surgery;
2
b. a minimum of one month of structured education in at least three
of the following: emergency medicine, medical/cardiac intensive
care, internal medicine, neurology, neurological surgery, pediatric
surgery or pediatrics, rheumatology, anesthesiology,
musculoskeletal imaging, and rehabilitation; and
c. a maximum of three months of orthopaedic surgery.



Hope this helps, and good luck.
