Rotations

Rotation assignments encompass all areas of orthopedics and are designed to encourage graduated responsibility for the residents in order to provide a solid, well-rounded education. Rotation assignments also meet all requirements set forth by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, Inc., for becoming eligible for the board certification process.

Orthopedic trauma call at our Level I Trauma Center is an exciting and educational experience.  To help unload some of the tiring duties of the trauma rotations, the OU Orthopedic Department has implemented a Night Float Call System for all junior residents rotating at the Level I Trauma Center. 

A PGY-2 Resident takes night call Sunday through Thursday.  This allows the other PGY-1, PGY-2, and PGY-3 residents to go home earlier on these days, making the rotations more efficient and more enjoyable.  The remaining five or six PGY-1, PGY-2, and PGY-3 residents then cover the weekend call from Friday evening until Sunday evening.
