Orthopaedic Surgery Residency
The University of Arizona College of Medicine ranks among the top medical schools in the nation and is home to one of the most storied and longstanding true orthopaedic team-based programs.
Our residents work one-on-one with attending mentors in a uniquely friendly, family-oriented atmosphere that is both rigorous and rewarding.
Together, we foster the knowledge, skills and judgment to practice medicine at the highest level, whether as a general orthopedic surgeon or in a subspecialty practice.
Applications must be received through ERAS by November 1.
