Graduates
The graduates of the Boston University Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program gain comprehensive knowledge and are fully prepared to engage in private practice upon completion of their residency training. However, a large percentage of residents are successfully matched or accepted into sub-specialty fellowship programs. Listed below are our recent graduates and the fellowships they completed. As you can see, a major strength of the program is that many of our residents place into fellowship programs at some of the most prestigious teaching institutions across the country.
