PGY4 and PGY5 years include 6 month rotations in General Orthopedics at the Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center.
All residents are evaluated quarterly by faculty, nursing personnel, and peer review through the New Innovations Residency System. The residents have at least one OCSE yearly (and in this process are evaluated by patients). Each resident comes before the combined faculty annually to discuss his/her progress and performance. The residents participate in an annual mock oral board examination, and all residents take part in the Orthopedic In-Training Examination (OITE) annually.
