About

Our mission is to improve the lives of patients facing musculoskeletal diseases – locally, regionally, nationally, and globally by providing compassionate and personalized patient care, innovative education, and cutting-edge research.

We strive to provide state-of-the-art, comprehensive, and cost-effective care for all musculoskeletal disorders. Our physicians provide prompt, compassionate treatment in quality facilities. We aim to achieve the best outcome for every patient while respecting personal and cultural wishes.

With regards to clinical education, we will provide high quality and current orthopedic education to medical students, residents, and fellows. We utilize a structured yet innovative teaching process that evolves to meet the needs of our students and trainees. Our residency program equips surgeons with the evidence-based knowledge, technical expertise, and professional skills required to be leaders in an evolving healthcare landscape.

Finally, we will continue to make significant advances in musculoskeletal scientific knowledge and clinical practice through basic science, translational, and clinical research. We continue to expand our research infrastructure and increase our participation in collaborative multi-site studies.

Our vision is to improve orthopaedic care locally and abroad by providing modern, patient-centered clinical care, training exceptional surgeons, and conducting innovative musculoskeletal research. To achieve our vision, we will commit to the following values in order to promote ethical, respectful, and collaborative relationships:

• We will provide honest, evidence-based medical advice.
• We will provide our patients with practical solutions that result in quality, cost-effective care.
• We will be sensitive to our patients’ social, cultural, and financial needs.
• We will advocate for our patients within the health system, our community, and at a policy level.
• We will support a greater diversity of ideas and communities that will grow with the evolving needs of our patients.
• We will promote teamwork and collaboration as the best model for success.
• We will recruit, nurture, reward and retain quality faculty and staff while being fiscally responsible.
• We will teach all medical students fundamental orthopaedic knowledge so they may contribute to musculoskeletal patient care regardless of their future specialty.
• We will train orthopaedic residents and fellows to critically assess orthopaedic conditions and create a personalized evidence-based treatment plan for each individual patient through a shared decision-making process.
• We will inspire orthopaedic residents and fellows to contribute to the field of orthopaedic surgery through research, education, mentorship, and leadership.
• We will embrace creativity, seek new knowledge, and foster high achievement and excellence in all aspects of our mission.
