Our mission.
The Ortho Path Initiative aims to transform the journey of medical students aspiring to specialize in orthopedic surgery.
Orthopedic training is not always emphasized as much in the classroom as other medical specialties. This can make the transition into orthopedic rotations intimidating and overwhelming for many medical students.
Recognizing this gap, Ortho Path aims to serve as a comprehensive guide to help students excel in their orthopedic clerkships.
Our Strategies
Developing a Comprehensive Resource Hub
A digital platform will be created, featuring a wide range of educational materials, including lectures, case studies, research articles, and surgical technique videos. The content will be curated to cater to various learning styles and stages.
Enhancing Orthopaedic Clerkship Experience
Providing comprehensive guidance on key aspects of orthopaedic clerkship rotations, including physical exam techniques, imaging interpretation, technology integration, team-based approaches, patient education, and subspecialty exposure, ensuring that students are well-prepared to excel in their rotations.
Promoting Diverse Learning Opportunities
Collaborations with other organizations and institutions to provide students with diverse perspectives and learning experiences. This includes guest lectures, virtual shadowing opportunities, and research project collaborations.
Accessibility
Ensuring the resources are accessible to all, regardless of geographic or socio-economic barriers. This includes offering materials in various formats and languages and providing scholarships for those who need financial support.
