The UCSF-Fresno Department of Orthopaedic Surgery welcomes and invites you to learn more about our excellent, five-year residency program in orthopaedic surgery. Established in 2010, our mission is to train the next generation of knowledgeable, technically skilled surgeons, who will provide high quality, comprehensive orthopaedic care. Our fully ACGME-accredited residency provides outstanding surgical training, didactic education, and abundant research opportunities, with a focus on cultivating a supportive, collegial environment among residents and faculty. There is a strong emphasis on obtaining early, hands-on experience in the inpatient, outpatient, and operating room settings. Training is focused primarily at Community Regional Medical Center (CRMC), the Central Valley’s only level 1 trauma center, with a catchment area of over 15,000 mi² serving 4.3 million people, offering a full spectrum of interesting clinical cases.

Graduates of our program have matched into a multitude of orthopaedic subspecialty fellowships (alumni page link), and advanced into successful careers, both in academic and private practice settings.
