Over the past 10 years, the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) has grown into a dynamic and exciting department. Our goals are to provide excellent clinical care, while maintaining a strong commitment to education and research. Orthopaedics accounts for over 25% of the surgical volume at BIDMC. We are one of the medical center’s most productive services, and we continue to expand in the coming year, both at the Medical Center and in the surrounding community. It has been another busy year! Here are some of the highlights:

Teaching Experience

We are continuing to develop our resident teaching program. We are excited to have 12 HCORP residents starting this year. Residents continue to work with the sports, spine, joints, hand, trauma, and foot and ankle services, both in the clinic and operating room under the direction of Drs. Ramappa, Day, McGuire and Rodriquez, Ayres, along with Drs. Davis, White, Rozental, Duggal and Appleton. Residents to date have been pleased with their rotations in the PGY 2, 3, 4 and PGY 5. We owe this in large part to the talent and dedication that our faculty members possess for teaching.

The following is a very brief synopsis of our faculty accomplishments and activities for the academic year.
