Research

Research Opportunity
Ample. We work closely with statisticians at both WBAMC and TTUHSC, and have access to multiple research databases. We maintain close connections with surgeons across both our city and the country, and can help residents work on projects of interest. Many past residents have served as reviewers or editors for leading orthopaedic journals. All efforts are made to ensure that residents are not forced to do research. Rather, we strive to foster an environment which promotes critical thinking and supports residents in their scholarly pursuits.

Research Requirements
1 project of publishable quality prior to the completion of residency.

Research Year
Not offered

Sample of Past Research efforts/publications

Sample of Current Research Efforts
Medical students interested in getting involved in research with our team may contact us at his or her convenience in order to be given a list of both projects in progress and planned future projects. We are currently running multiple clinical trials, database studies, systematic reviews, clinical outcomes studies and quality improvement projects. The sky is the limit.
