Continuing Medical Education
The goal of Continuing Medical Education in the Section of Orthopaedic Surgery is to provide leadership in the education of health care providers, create structures to support the professional development of section members, and advocate for continuing professional education.
We strive to improve clinical competence, performance, and outcomes in the area of bone and joint health. We do this by supporting activities such as City Wide Rounds and specialty courses such as Glen Edwards Day and Townsend Day. Faculty members also participate in public education on joint replacement at our annual Day in Arthroplasty.
