Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery
The Hand surgery rotation is led by Brett Lewellyn, MD and it's one of the busiest services at Orlando Health. Along with Dr. Lewellyn, residents work with Drs. Zumsteg, Nguyen, Desai, Brown and Gasner on a regular basis. Residents receive a high operative volume as well as balanced training with regards to hand trauma and elective procedures over the entire upper extremity including shoulder arthroscopy and arthroplasty. This Rotation is usually 75% OR time with 25% clinic time. All of our hand attendings are trained in microvascular surgery and take level one hand call covering a large area spanning North and Central Florida.
Musculoskeletal Oncology
Diagnosis and management of orthopedic oncologic disease is included in the general orthopedic service rotation and during a musculoskeletal tumor rotation at UF Health in Gainesville. While in Gainesville, the residents work with Mark Scarborough, MD, Parker Gibbs, MD, and Andre Spiguel, MD, all of which are fellowship trained in this specialty. Lectures in musculoskeletal pathology and treatment are given throughout the year by these individuals and in addition the residents in the PGY-4 year attend an annual off-campus musculoskeletal conference directed by Dr. Scarborough. While in Gainesville, housing, food, and travel expenses are provided for the fourth-year resident during this rotation.
