PGY-I Grants exposure to services helpful in preparing a foundation for a well-rounded orthopedic surgeon. Rotations outside of orthopedics includes one-month blocks in general surgical trauma, plastic surgery, infectious diseases, burns/ICU, vascular surgery and neurosurgery. For the orthopedic services rotation, four months are on our general orthopedic green and gold services. These teams consist primarily of orthopedic trauma along with adult joint reconstruction, sports, and foot and ankle components. Each intern also spends one month during the first half of the year on the orthopedic trauma night float service alongside a third-year teaching resident, followed by another month of night float in the winter/spring.

Residency Life
The residency program values diversity with regard to everything from race, gender, as well as being married or single. Approximately half of the residents are engaged or married with several couples having young children. Approximately 1/3 of the residency “own” their own homes while the other 2/3 rent houses, apartments, or condos. Where residents choose to live is variable with several residents living in the outlying smaller suburbs of Orlando including Winter Garden, Ocoee, College Park, and Belle Isle. Most of these outlying cities are a short 10-15-minute drive on the major thoroughfares to downtown Orlando. Several residents also live in downtown Orlando proper allowing them to be closer to the “action” for both taking call as well as all that downtown has to offer – restaurants, pubs, etc.
