NYU Langone Health is renowned for its exceptional medical professionals and cutting-edge orthopedic treatments. For international physicians aspiring to enhance their expertise in orthopedic surgery, the Department of Orthopedic Surgery offers a unique Visiting International Physician’s (VIP) Program. This academic observership provides an unparalleled opportunity to learn from leading Nyu Hospital Doctors and gain insights into state-of-the-art orthopedic techniques.
The VIP Program at NYU Langone is designed for international medical graduates holding an MD degree who are passionate about orthopedic surgery. Participants have the chance to observe and learn at various prestigious locations within the NYU Langone Health system. These include the NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital, a top-ranked facility for orthopedics, the NYU Langone Orthopedic Center, and NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue, a major public hospital and academic medical center. This diverse range of locations offers exposure to a broad spectrum of orthopedic practices and patient care settings.
A key benefit of the VIP Program is the exchange of knowledge it fosters. As a visiting physician, you will not only learn about the advanced orthopedic techniques employed by NYU hospital doctors but also have the opportunity to share your own valuable experience and knowledge with our esteemed faculty. This mutual exchange creates a rich learning environment for everyone involved.
To participate in the VIP Program, prospective candidates need to secure a faculty sponsor within the Department of Orthopedic Surgery. This sponsor will serve as a guide throughout your observership, helping to tailor your experience to meet your specific educational goals. The duration of your visit, the specific location of your observership, and the activities you will engage in are determined collaboratively between you and your faculty sponsor prior to your arrival, ensuring a personalized and focused learning experience.
