Orthopaedic Surgery Interest Group
The Orthopaedic Surgery Interest Group serves to provide Stanford Medical Students with opportunities to learn about Orthopaedic Surgery. Every year, we coordinate several activities that allow students to interact with Residents and Faculty in Orthopaedic Surgery. We also facilitate peer mentoring by having events with upperclass students who plan to match (or have matched) in Orthopaedic Surgery. This year, we hope to increase opportunities for hands on learning by coordinating several operative anatomy and musculoskeletal exam workshops. If you have any interest in exploring or pursuing a career in Orthopaedic Surgery, we hope you will participate in this group.
Faculty Sponsor: Ivan Cheng, MD
