Our residency program continues to train leaders
and we are proud to have comprehensive facilities and a dedicated
cadre of research and teaching faculty. Our residents spend the
majority of their time at the Columbia Presbyterian Campus of New
York Presbyterian Hospital in northern Manhattan and also rotate
at the Florida Orthopaedic Institute, in Tampa, Florida. Our only
away rotation in Tampa gives our residents rich experience in level
1 trauma surgery; an excellent complement to our regular level 2
experience at home.
Our residents all participate
in a wide variety of research projects. Every year, residents are
given the opportunity to present these projects at national meetings.
Our clinical research is often done in close collaborations with
the Columbia University School of Public Health and with other Clinical
Departments. Some residents undertake basic science research through
the Columbia Center for Orthopaedic Research (COR).
I encourage you to ask
questions and discuss the program with our current residents. Finally,
I hope this website allows you to gain some valuable information
concerning our program and we look forward to meeting you in the
future. We encourage 4th year students to spend a month on our service
- if you are interested, please contact Courtney
Walsh in the Dean's Office at 212-305-1642.
Sincerely,
Louis U. Bigliani, MD
