The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of New Mexico aims to
excel in patient care, education, and research. The residency program is committed
to a process of maturation in the pursuit of knowledge that leads to a path of lifelong learning.
The orthopaedic faculty are committed to a teaching program that includes a comprehensive
basic science and clinical curriculum. All orthopaedic subspecialties are well represented
within the Department. Attending surgeons are based at the University Hospital, Children’s
Hospital, and Veteran’s Administration Medical Center, all within close geographic proximity.
Research is expected and encouraged. The Orthopaedic Residency Program is a five-year training
program which is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education,
and meets all the requirements established by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery and
the Orthopaedic Residency Review Committee.
The residency program appreciates the fact that each resident is an individual with unique experiences,
goals and interests and facilitates a program where sufficient latitude exists to allow for
independent maturation. Every resident is expected to assume responsibility for their personal
professional development and to contribute to collegial growth.
