Training the Next Generation of Orthopedic Specialists

According to the Journal of American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, Orlando Health’s orthopedic residency program ranks fourth in the United States, with more than 70 years of excellence in graduate medical education. In addition to 20 residents, which will expand to 25 by 2023, we offer three fellowships – one each in orthopedic trauma, pediatric orthopedics and orthopedic sports medicine – making Orlando Health one of the most extensive and advanced orthopedic educational programs in the region.

High-Volume, Expert Care

Our outpatient and clinical programs, offered in various locations throughout Central Florida, care for more than 250,000 patients each year.
