Resident Benefits
Education Stipend
A generous grant from the Campbell Clinic Foundation provides $1,500 for each resident to use for educational expenses such as laptops, loupes, courses, and specialized medical equipment.
Textbooks
The Campbell Foundation provides incoming PGY-1 residents with the current edition of the following texts:
- Hoppenfeld, S and DeBoer, P: Exposures in Orthopaedics: The anatomic Approach
- Rockwood and Green – Fractures in Adults and Children Vol. 1 and 2 and 3 : Should be given a somewhat cursory read-through for exposure to terminology and techniques without attempting to memorize classification systems, specific treatment modalities, etc.
- Campbell’s Operative Orthopaedics. Reading Campbell’s Operative before residency is an almost impossible task unless all operative procedures are excluded and only the introductory information in each chapter is read. This reduces the material to probably less than one volume. It is pointless to read every operative procedure and try to memorize technique, but there is much useful background information in the preliminary sections.
