University of Missouri-Columbia Program
About This Program
Residents are trained to have the ability to go straight into practice and not require a fellowship. We offer a pathway for physicians wanting to become academic scholars (masters or PhD) . We have a standalone ortho facility and level 1 trauma center. Most rotations take place in close proximity. There isn't travel time to get to each destination.
