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.
