Rotation Schedule

The rotation schedule for the orthopaedic surgery residency program at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University provides a broad and in-depth exposure to all orthopaedic specialties. Our schedule is designed to deliver a well-rounded training experience.

Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Rotation Schedule

Residents rotate through most orthopaedic subspecialties as both a junior and senior resident. The schedule allows for increasing responsibility based on individual advancement during the training period.  This includes opportunities for early operative experiences in hand & upper extremity, spine, sports medicine and trauma.  Elective rotations in PGY3 and PGY5 years allow time to focus on research and prepare for subspecialty fellowship.
