Northport VA Medical Center

The Northport VAMC provides an opportunity for advanced orthopaedic surgery residency training in comprehensive and sophisticated adult reconstructive orthopaedic services.  Residents have increased graduated responsibility and develop skills from indication through treatment, much the same way they would in private practice.  They are supervised daily by full-time and part-time attendings on a one-to-one basis.  Residents receive a heightened knowledge in the orthopaedic treatment of geriatric patients.  Recently, younger patients from the Department of Defense have been added to the patient population, which augments sports medicine skills.
