NYU Langone Orthopedics proudly hosts events throughout the year to help students across all levels gain exposure to the field of orthopedic surgery as a future career:
🦴On Saturday, May 9th, Toni McLaurin, Professor and Chief of our Bellevue Hospital Orthopedic Service welcomed 40 NYC public high school students for the Orthopaedic Trauma Association’s High School Scholars Program. Our residents and faculty were on hand as volunteers and mentors for this special group of scholars.
🦴Students from United Charter High Schools and the Pre-Med Academy at John Adams High School explored careers in orthopedics through lectures, videos, and hands on activities. They practiced fixing fractures, reading X rays, and even casting, with each of them placing a cast on a partner’s finger with the bonus of a souvenir cast to take home!
💫We hope we inspired the next generation of orthopedic professionals!
