Under the supervision of GW faculty and senior house staff, visiting students share many of responsibilities of orthopedic residents. Students observe and participate in a variety of patient encounters - in the emergency room, the operating room, the wards, and the outpatient clinic. Students are also asked to deliver at least one brief presentation on a relevant orthopedic topic.
Please see the School of Medicine and Health Sciences page for visiting students for information about applying through the Visiting Student Application Service.
