2025 URiM Orthopedic Bootcamp Scholarship Opportunity
The University of Minnesota Department of Orthopedic Surgery has launched a URiM visiting student scholarship that provides financial assistance for 3rd-year visiting medical students from underrepresented groups (as defined by the AAMC) who are planning to pursue residency training in Orthopedic Surgery!
What does the scholarship provide?
The selected student(s) will receive a stipend to be used for their travel and housing expenses during their four-week Orthopedic Bootcamp rotation in Minneapolis from February 3 - 28, 2025. Students’ academic achievements, demonstrated leadership, orthopedic interest, and academic standings will all be considered when selecting candidates.
What is Orthopedic Bootcamp?
Orthopedic Bootcamp is a four (4) week, in-person course that teaches you everything you need to know to succeed on orthopedic rotations — didactic sessions that include common msk conditions, reading X-rays, physical exams, simulation sessions for splinting, suturing, sawbones, fracture reductions, cast removal, how to do a case presentation, and much more!
