Because of this, we recognize the value and importance of fellow and resident mental, physical, and spiritual wellness. We have developed a strong wellness program that consists of a fulltime, readily available wellness counselor as well as protected time for fellow, resident, and faculty team building and development. This year's current residents and faculty. Our residents play an active role in this educational process.
Departmental teaching conferences are held each morning and each clinical service also holds a specialty conference during the week. Resident research participation is also a part of teaching and the learning process. Each resident is expected to participate in research projects with a manuscript and publication prior to graduation.
Typically we are in the office 2 to 3 days per week on the private rotations. With frequently published faculty in Trauma, Peds, and Sports, there are many research opportunities available. All of our research is clinically based. Research has not been heavily emphasized until the past 3 or 4 years. The residents that are here work hard and also have good balance. The majority are married, and 3 residents have kids. We generally emphasize clinical expertise and operative skill.
This is a front-loaded program where you are working very hard covering ER call for a Level 1 Adult and Peds hospital for 2. While on trauma rotations we are very busy, but our overall lifestyle is good. We have great camaraderie, and often get together to watch sports outside of work. Some residents often surf, do triathlons, fish and wakeboard.
Orlando is a sprawling city with many areas that are good to live. Many affordable options are available in the Downtown area, or you can look in the suburbs for a house with bigger size. There is a ton to do here, and the Gulf and Atlantic are not far away. I personally like research and want to teach in the future--there is a place for both here.
This is a great residency that will let you be very prepared for going into general orthopedics or academics. We have faculty that very well known, and are a great asset for research and publications.
