Didactics

The UAMS Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program maintains a balanced educational curriculum in which clinical training is enhanced by a comprehensive didactic program that includes core conferences in all areas of clinical orthopaedics, fractures, basic science, and orthopaedic pathology.

All interns have the opportunity to attend AO Basic, as well as advanced and more specialized courses during their 2nd and 3rd year. All fifth year (chief) residents are given the opportunity to attend the annual American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery conference. Residents who have research projects that have been accepted for presentation at regional meetings are encouraged to attend.
