Educating Future Researchers
Medical Tutorial
Join our Medical Tutorial Program and gain real-world experience in orthopedic research and clinical practice. Undergraduate, post-bac, and graduate students assist in collecting data for our spine registry research, shadow surgeons in outpatient clinics, and explore orthopaedic procedures through recorded lectures. Additionally, students are invited to the spine indications conference, where upcoming surgical cases are discussed. This unique program offers invaluable exposure to the intersection of clinical care, research, and education.
Mentoring
Our research team has extensive experience mentoring residents, post-doctoral fellows, and graduate students. Areas of expertise include: health services research, patient-reported outcome measures, health-related quality of life; health economics, and value-based healthcare. Contact us if you are interested learning more about how we can help you on your educational and research journey.
Consulting
We offer many options for our experts to work with you on your research projects. This can include partnership to develop innovative clinical trials of healthcare interventions to improve the health of patients living with musculoskeletal disorders or injuries. We provide consulting services on product development, protocol design, and clinical trial conduct. We are able to serve on stakeholder or expert panels, data safety monitoring board, or other advisory capacities.
