Special Features
Marshall Orthopaedics is a family oriented, close-knit residency. Our mentorship model of education allows the faculty to identify each residents individual strengths and weaknesses allowing each resident to improve rapidly and gain mastery of their operative and clinical skills. Our residents operate early and often, and this early exposure to the OR drastically improves case volume. Graduates leave this program with life-long friends, strong mentors and unparalleled confidence in their operative skill and ability to care for patients.
