Extended Shadow Division

Underground Ortho’s Extended Shadow Program aims to streamline shadowing in orthopaedic surgery for medical students, offer medical students a high-volume of contiguous orthopaedic OR exposures alongside a diverse team of top orthopaedic surgeons, and alleviate administrative burden of coordinating such opportunities for both staff and student.

For a given period, students will be matched with staff based on collective availabilties provided by affiliated orthopaedic surgeons and medical students that have reached out to take part in the program. Every effort will be made to ensure the process is equitable to all students and that students receive diverse exposure. Students are always encouraged to seek additional shadowing opportunities.

Several orthopaedic surgeons have preliminarily agreed to take part in the program, and we look forward to launching it this fall 2024.

If you are a medical student or orthopaedic surgeon interested in getting involved in the Extended Shadow Program reach out to us at undergroundortho@gmail.com.
