Serving the best interest of the public and the medical profession by establishing education & performance standards for orthopaedic surgeons.

The ABOS requires Orthopaedic Surgery residents to participate in an average of 46 weeks of education each year. By averaging over 5 years, residents can take time for parental or family leave without affecting the total length of their residency education.
