Orthopedics
The Mount Carmel Health System Orthopedic Residency Program has been in existence since 1945. It is a 5-year program that is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The residency program offers two positions per year and participates in the National Residency Match Program (NRMP).
Residents are delegated progressively greater responsibilities as their knowledge and technical and decision-making skills develop. Indeed, PGY-5 residents evaluate, manage and treat assigned patients surgically and non-surgically with relative independence as they demonstrate increasing clinical competence.
The strength of the orthopedic residency at Mount Carmel is rooted in the high caliber of individuals who match with our program. Each prospective candidate is encouraged to explore the program and to become familiar with attending faculty at Mount Carmel. Our aim is to select residents whose values align with the mission and philosophy of the institution and to provide them with a rich and rewarding educational experience.
Upon completion of the Mount Carmel Orthopedic Residency Program, the graduate will possess a solid knowledge base and will have developed sound decision-making and technical skills. We strive to provide a well-rounded educational experience in all aspects of orthopedic surgery so that our graduates are prepared to directly enter independent orthopedic practice. Most residents have, however, chosen to pursue fellowship training and have been very successful in securing highly competitive positions in a variety of orthopedic subspecialties.
