WVU Family Medicine Resident Curriculum

Musculoskeletal / Sport Medicine

General:

The orthopedics rotation is an outpatient rotation with home call for the family medicine service.  The rotation is coordinated by one of our own family medicine faculty with a CAQ in sports medicine, Dr. Guy Monteleone.  This rotation is an exciting blend of clinical didactic education.  The resident will gain expertise in surface anatomy, joint examinations, x-ray interpretation, joint injections, splinting and casting techniques and much more.  Your clinical experience will be through direct clinic exposure to Dr. Monteleone's sports medicine clinics, as well as rotating through clinics with internal and community orthopedists, and physical therapists.  We are also developing a web-based curriculum for an intensive, invigorating month long rotation that will assist you during the rest of your residency and through your career!

 

Call: Residents take call for the Department of Famiy Medicine during this rotation.
