Northwell Health Orthopedic Surgery Residency Program
HotThe Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Northwell Health offers a five-year ACGME-accredited training program in orthopaedic surgery. The department has nationally and internationally known surgeons for students to learn from and a strong research program at the Orthopaedic Research Laboratory.
The program hosts 20 trainees. Its relatively small size affords residents a broad diversity and high volume of clinical experience. Residents are given the opportunity for increasing responsibility, as they gain experience and knowledge of each rotation.
The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery is active at two of the Northwell Health tertiary facilities – Long Island Jewish Medical Center and North Shore University Hospital. Though residents in this program spend a majority of the five years at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, rotations also occur at North Shore University Hospital, Cohen Children’s Medical Center and the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research.
There is more than ample operating room experience supervised by attending staff. Our sports medicine program treats athletes of all ages and competitive levels, including professional sports teams such as the New York Islanders, New Jersey Devils, the Association of Tennis Professionals, The United States Davis Cup, the Long Island Ducks, and the New York Lizards.
