Welcome to the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery's Residency Program!

From our Program Director

Our goal is to attract outstanding candidates from diverse backgrounds and train them to be skilled clinicians and surgeons representing all subspecialties of Orthopaedic surgery. Outstanding patient care, technical skill, and scholarly activity are provided at UT Southwestern Medical Center, Parkland Hospital, the Dallas VA Medical Center, Children's Health and Scottish Rite for Children. Our distinguished faculty will help to prepare our graduates for independent practice and fellowship, whether in academic or private settings. Our commitment to excellence in education and training contributes to why UT Southwestern is "the future of medicine, today."
