Welcome to the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery
The Harbor-UCLA Orthopaedic Residency Training Program
is known for its balance of surgical volume, operative experience, didactic teaching, clinical supervision, and early emphasis on clinical decision-making and continuity of care.
Despite the physical and mental rigors of a demanding training program, Harbor residents are distinguished as being happy—enjoying a camaraderie and esprit de corps among residents and faculty that is almost unique among surgical training programs.
The high spirit of fellowship among residents and teaching staff provides a healthy and productive work environment in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. The Academic Staff derives the greatest satisfaction not just from teaching, but specifically from teaching at Harbor.
