Indiana University School of Medicine’s Orthopaedic Surgery Residency training is a competitive five-year program that provides opportunities to experience extensive clinical practice and surgical advancement in adult and pediatric orthopaedics.
The residency training program offers two tracks of training: a five-year clinical track and a six-year research track.
The research track resident follows the same training as the five-year clinical track but spends one year after the PGY 2 year conducting research within the lab. The research track resident then resumes as a PGY 3 clinical trainee after the research year.
Orcutt will be on the department’s research track.
Department faculty are committed to helping each resident in orthopaedics to attain the maximum of their individual potential. In this program, both community practice and academic positions are available, allowing graduates to fully explore options for long-term career goals.
Residents are exposed to every orthopaedic subspecialty during their training.
They operate at various locations, including: the busiest Level 1 adult and children’s hospitals in the nation, a Level 1 county hospital, a VA hospital, and multiple private practice locations.
With great opportunity for early and frequent autonomy, a variety of case complexity and different practice types, IU School of Medicine equips residents with the knowledge and skill needed to succeed.
