Orthopaedic Surgery (ORSU) Courses

Academic Unit: Orthopaedic Surgery

ORSU 7100 - Orthopedic Surgery Boot Camp

(4 cr; Prereq-SURG 7500 or OBST 7500; P-N only; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer)

The orthopedic surgery bootcamp is focused on students who are planning for residency and careers in orthopedic surgery. The course will provide foundational medical knowledge in orthopedic musculoskeletal concepts, simulations of surgical/procedural techniques, key points for the optimal functioning of the surgical team and interprofessional education, and management of patients across the continuum of orthopedic care.

ORSU 7180 - Orthopaedics I

(3 cr [max 6]; H-N or Audit; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer; may be repeated for 6 credits)

A brief survey course with exposure to a large number of patients, rather than a didactic and highly structured course. Instruction is given by audiovisual technique, conference, and seminars, in addition to teaching primarily in the outpatient clinic. There are opportunities for participation in the inpatient service and in surgery for the student interested in this additional experience. To round out the somewhat limited experience inherent in a three week rotation, independent study of the text, Disorders and Disease of the Musculoskeletal System, by Robert B. Salter, is strongly recommended.

ORSU 7185 - Acting Intern Orthopaedic Surgery

(2 cr [max 4]; H-N only; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer; may be repeated for 4 credits)

This course provides a more comprehensive, detailed exposure to orthopaedics for those students who are interested in orthopaedics or another surgical specialty, or who desire more experience in preparation for a career in family practice.

ORSU 7186 - Orthopaedic Surgery Research

(4 cr [max 8]; H-N only; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer; may be repeated for 16 credits; may be repeated 2 times)

ORSU 7190 - Acting Intern General, Reconstructive, and Geriatric Orthopaedics

(4 cr; H-N only; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer)

This course consists of supervised clinical experience in the primary care of both adult inpatients and outpatients with an emphasis on reconstructive types of orthopaedic surgery. The student has a great deal of individual ward and surgical responsibility and is expected to present their cases. The student functions at the junior resident level. While the student does not take call individually, they may choose to take call with the resident to whom they are assigned. Recommended for the student interested in an orthopaedic surgery career and for the student choosing a non-orthopaedic surgery career. Primary text for externship: Salter RB: Textbook of Disorders and Injuries of the Musculoskeletal System, Baltimore, Williams & Wilkins.

ORSU 7191 - Acting Intern Orthopaedic Trauma Surgery

(4 cr; H-N only; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer)

This course provides detailed exposure to orthopaedic reconstruction and trauma.

ORSU 7192 - Primary Care Orthopaedics

(4 cr; P-N only; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer)

The students will be observing and assisting orthopaedic surgeons in a general orthopaedic practice. The student's interest and initiative will determine the level of responsiblities and the extent of participation in surgical procedures. Students are responsible for weekly case conference presentations.

ORSU 7194 - Orthopaedic Externship-MC

(3 cr [max 6]; H-N or Audit; offered Every Fall & Spring; may be repeated for 6 credits)

An introductory course to outpatient orthopaedic patient evaluation and treatment in a private office setting. The student observes and, under direct supervision, participates in efficient evaluation of pediatric and adult patients with musculoskeletal complaints. This includes obtaining pertinent history and doing a complete musculoskeletal exam appropriate to the patient's complaints. Emphasis is on physical diagnosis and evaluation of diagnostic data including x-rays and other imaging modalities. * The student spends most of their time with Dr. Aadalen at his Edina office, but they also accompany him to Children's Health Care-Minneapolis, Fairview-University Medical Center (Riverside Campus) and Shriner's Hospital.

ORSU 7195 - Orthopaedics for the Generalist

(4 cr; H-N or Audit; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer)

Provides the opportunity to recognize and treat common orthopaedic problems. The experience consists of emergency room, ambulatory setting, and operating room exposure with an emphasis on problems encountered in primary care. The student may also have an opportunity to work with a sports medicine physician in the office and travel to rural site visits for orthopaedic consultations. Text: Disorders and Disease of the Musculoskeletal System, Robert B. Salter. Texts are available (no charge) through the UMD Department of Family Medicine for students use while on this rotation. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: To request the Duluth site, contact the UMD Department of Family Medicine, 10 University Drive, Duluth, MN 55812 (218-726-7916) at least one month prior to quarterly cancel/add deadline.

Students may have the option to work with a physician for sporting event coverage to learn the intricacies of on-field medical care for athletes. There is some flexibility in the exact layout of this course, in particular allowing students to choose whether they wish to spend time in the operating room with a sports medicine orthopedic surgeon, or more time spent in clinic with sports medicine providers. The medical student is not expected to take any call during the rotation. If a sideline coverage opportunity arises, these tend to occur in the evening or on a weekend. Otherwise, there are no overnight or weekend coverage expectations during this rotation. Most weeks will include 4.5 to 5 days of clinical exposure at TRIA Woodbury.
