What were you looking for in a residency program?
Duke Orthopaedics has an incredible program combining world-renowned faculty dedicated to teaching, tremendous opportunities for research and innovation, and a supportive environment to develop excellent surgical skills. However, the greatest strength of Duke for me was the sense of family throughout the entire program.

I enjoy playing soccer, exercising, traveling, concerts, and spending time with my family and friends.
