Shadowing and observation

A Day in the Life of an Orthopaedic Specialist

The virtual program will provide you with information about the orthopedic careers.  You must be 16 years of age or older to participate in this program.  The journey starts with your education, so each career covered will include information on college and post-secondary training required.  We will also touch on other topics, including getting into practice and what a typical day is like in the work force.  During our program, you will also hear a little bit about TRIA including our philosophy on patient centered care, unique programs we offer, and view a previously recorded anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
