Attending surgeons closely supervise the residents of all levels on their teams. First year residents in Orthopedic Surgery are expected to attend all the educational activities scheduled for Orthopedic Residents. One lecture a week, which is devoted specifically to topics of interest and presented at a level for those early in their training, is also required of first year residents.
