Orthopaedic Residency Cadaveric Education Curriculum Now Underway!

The Orthopaedic Residency Cadaveric Education Curriculum was developed by Associate Program Director Kanu Goyal, MD, and several others in order to supplement clinical operative experience with surgical cadaveric instruction, and education for our residents. Labs take place in the newly opened state-of-the-art Crane Sports Medicine Institute Surgical Skills Lab. With the help of all orthopaedic faculty, and the collaboration of the Crane Lab staff, the curriculum is a year-long program of forty two-hour sessions. The labs are mandatory for all residents and each lab session has been designed for a specific PGY level, PGY2 through PGY5, with specific pre-lab instruction, lab objectives, and post-lab evaluation. The curriculum kicked off with the first lab on October 16, covering basic and advanced knee arthroscopy for our PGY2 and PGY4 residents.
