Hi Kelli,

Yes you should have a PLA in place. Feel free to call me with questions, 520-626-9245, thank you.

The graduates receive a watch that is engraved with UW Ortho, their last name and their year of graduation. This is generally well received.

Hey Beth,

This is the most recent report I was able to pull from the ACGME website, including Pre-Accredited Programs for the Orthopaedic Specialty.

Hope you find what you are looking for!

If you follow the below link, and search by “Orthopaedic Surgery,” all accredited programs will populate below. If you wish, you can filter further by choosing a sub-specialty

Attached is a list I pulled from ACGME in December but I believe it only shows programs accredited through ACGME.

Hi Kelli,
It doesn’t matter the amount of time that the resident works with the faculty member it depends upon how this surgical center is affiliated with your main hospital. For example, we have a surgical center that is off site that is part of the WellSpan System so therefore, we count it as a site but do not need a PLA. However, there are faculty that perform surgery at our main hospital, but they belong to another practice that is not part of WellSpan. Our residents work with those faculty members but only at our main hospital so therefore, we do not need a PLA since the residents do not work offsite with that faculty member. The work around for this is that one day a month, your residents do not work with that faculty member. In my experience, you will also have to onboard/credential your resident to that site, probably another mountain of paperwork.
Best wishes, it CAN happen! Feel free to email/call me for any kind of support!

Hello everyone, I am interested as well to hear from you about the fellowship interview slots. Thank you!

[ARCOS]

Just ABOS

[ARCOS]

Thank you very much for the information.
Does there have to be any ACGME approval or just from the ABOS?

[ARCOS]

You will need a letter from the surgery program stating what rotations they completed/will complete during the prelim year and along with that letter, your PD will need to send a letter to the ABOS asking permission to allow those rotations to count in your ortho program. The ABOS will then respond with what if any they will allow credit for in the PGY-1 ortho year. Make sure you keep copies of all correspondence with the ABOS. Happy to discuss further if you would like to contact me directly – cthompson@hsc.wvu.edu or 304-293-1168. Cindy

We have sent out a survey the past two years. Last year we sent it out after match day and we received little response. This year we sent it out after the rank list deadline, but before match day, and we had a much better response. It comes from our GME department and goes to everyone who interviewed with any of our residency programs, then the GME department breaks out the responses by specialty.

[ARCOS]

Was this because you have more than 20 residents? The only thing I have been able to find on that per ACGME is that if there are more than 20 residents you are required to have an ‘assistant.’

[ARCOS]

The graduates receive an engraved chair and may choose the captain’s chair or rocker. The wives are given a monogrammed serving piece chosen by the Chair’s wife.

I like the alumni gifts Courtney mentioned!

Hi Sarah,

We have a dedicated spine rotation for our PGY3’s and PGY4’s on ortho only, not combined with neurosurgery.
