Visiting Student Learning Opportunities with the UTHSC-Campbell Clinic Orthopaedic Surgery Program
This four-week elective lets students experience the UTHSC-Campbell Clinic Orthopaedic Surgery Residency program.
The student will typically rotate through four different orthopaedic subspecialties. For the outpatient experience, the student is typically paired with a resident (PGY-2 to PGY-5) and an attending surgeon. For inpatient/trauma, students are encouraged to work with both trauma teams for a broad exposure. Students may request specific services/attendings on a first-come, first-served basis.

FAQ
Do we take call?
During the elective, students will have the opportunity to take call at the Regional One Health Trauma Center.
Attire?
Scrubs permitted/provided at each hospital and worn for trauma rotation/call. Business professional attire and white coat are expected for clinic.
Schedule?
Varies per rotation and attending. Weekends are typically off (if not taking call) and provide an opportunity to experience Memphis and the surrounding areas.
Conference Attendence?
Visiting students are expected to attend Friday afternoon meetings from 2:00pm-5:00pm for didactic lectures and an opportunity to meet residents and faculty on other services.
Housing?
Housing is not provided by the university but there are residents willing to sublet additional bedrooms. Questions should be directed to Ginae Owens at gowens5@uthsc.edu.
Presentations?
There are no required/expected formal presentations during the four-week rotation, but you may be asked to present an interesting case during subspecialty conferences.
Is an externship required in order to match at UT-Campbell Clinic?
No. Rotators and non-rotators alike are extended interviews. However, rotating provides a better opportunity for the residents to get to know you apart from a single interview day.
