The program offers immersive education through observership, mentorship, and hands-on cadaver lab experience, providing a comprehensive and practical introduction to orthopedic surgery.
The Emory Orthopaedic Summer Scholars Program is a unique 6-week pre-college program designed to promote diversity and integrative learning in orthopedic surgery. Participants engage in immersive observership, professional mentorship, and hands-on skill sessions. The program aims to deepen understanding of orthopedic practice, academic medicine, and various career pathways within healthcare. Students gain clinical and surgical experience with a renowned team of orthopedic surgeons, participate in discussion groups and seminars, and have the opportunity to visit local educational and healthcare facilities. A key component involves performing surgeries on cadavers, providing a full-circle learning experience from observation to practice. The program also focuses on building critical skills for a successful medical career, including research conduct, diagnostic imaging interpretation, CV building, and networking. Upon completion, scholars receive an official Emory University certificate of achievement.
A typical day involves clinical and surgical observation with orthopedic surgeons, hands-on skill sessions, and participation in discussion groups and seminars.
This program is ideal for motivated undergraduate and early medical students, particularly women and underrepresented minorities, who are interested in pursuing a career in orthopedic surgery and gaining early exposure to the field.
