Rutgers Health/New Jersey Medical School Program
About This Program
The Orthopaedic Residency Program at the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and Affiliated Hospitals is a five-year program. Our subspecialty coverage is complete and comprehensive. The mix of facilities provides a diversity of patients, environments, and pathology, which we feel is necessary for a well-rounded surgical education. Our research facility includes molecular, biomechanical, and biochemical laboratories and is an integral part of the residents' experience.
