Houston Methodist is a world-class facility that provides residents access to cutting-edge advances and technologies, while grounding individuals in the principles of orthopedic surgery. Our residency program provides you with all the tools to further your career, providing the flexibility to pursue many different avenues. Our common goal, however, is to produce leaders in orthopedic surgery, whether that be in the realm of academics, research, private practice or administration.

A decades-long tradition of academics sets Houston Methodist apart from other institutions. Many nationally-known full-time teaching faculty team up to provide you the best clinical experience possible with abundant resources for education and an emphasis on your personal development as an orthopedic surgeon. A strong academic affiliation with Weill Cornell Medical College provides an anchor for educational excellence. For more than 50 years, Houston Methodist has served as a place where patients receive excellent care and residents receive outstanding medical training.
