Mysnyk Web site: http://www.uihealthcare.com/depts/med/orthopaedicsurgery/index.html The Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation offers training for residents and provides education for undergraduate students. Residency ProgramsThe department offers two programs for postgraduate trainees. The first is a five-year integrated clinical program, in which interns and residents participate simultaneously in inpatient and outpatient care, surgery, and sciences related to the neuromusculoskeletal system. The second provides the same training as the first, but includes an additional one to two years of research.Clinical ResidencyTrainees enter this program directly from medical school through the National Internship Matching Plan.During the first year, trainees gain experience not only in clinical orthopaedics but also in medicine, pediatrics, neurology, surgical specialties, intensive care, anesthesiology, and other services. During years two through five, residents gain experience in trauma, musculoskeletal oncology, children's orthopaedics, adult orthopaedics, neuromuscular disorders, rehabilitation, prosthetics and orthotics, rheumatology, and basic science related to orthopaedics. They take specialized courses in anatomy, bone histology, biochemistry, physiology, and pathology. A weekly seminar covers biomechanics, kinesiology, and selected clinical subjects. Residency with ResearchIn addition to the training described for the clinical program, this program includes an additional one or two years of research in a field that interests the resident and is related to the musculoskeletal system. The research may be done in one of the orthopaedic laboratories or in a basic science department.Undergraduate EducationAt the undergraduate level, the Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation participates in the Bachelor of Science in athletic training, which is offered by the Department of Integrative Physiology (College of Liberal Arts and Sciences). Members of the orthopaedics and rehabilitation sports medicine faculty teach 076:187 Practicum in Athletic Training IV, a two-semester advanced clinical sequence (8 s.h.). Students who complete the program are eligible to apply for national certification in athletic training and pursue employment opportunities as health care professionals for sports medicine clinics and hospitals, as well as in academic settings.LaboratoriesThe orthopaedics laboratories deal with problems in these major subject areas.Biochemistry: the biochemistry of proteoglycans, collagens, and matrix proteins, both normal and altered in musculoskeletal disorders Biomechanics: problems of the upper extremity; biomechanics of the spine, hip, and gait; total joint replacements (in conjunction with the College of Engineering) Cell and molecular biology: studies of normal bone, cartilage, tendon, muscle, and tissues altered by experiment and disease FacilitiesThe department is housed in the John Pappajohn Pavilion of University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics and has an active service in the Veterans Affairs Iowa City Health Care System.Facilities include 48 orthopaedic beds, five outpatient clinics, inpatient and outpatient operating rooms, a specialty library, a specialty radiology unit, and physical therapy and rehabilitation facilities. Specialty clinics deal with disorders such as scoliosis, club feet, congenital dislocated hip, neuromuscular disease, metabolic disease, amputation, neoplasm, trauma, and neck, back, hip, foot, knee, and hand problems. Physicians in the outpatient clinic see approximately 175 patients per day. Approximately 5,000 major operations are performed each year under the auspices of the department. The department provides consulting service to the Center for Disabilities and Development, Child Health Specialty Clinics, and two state programs that serve people with mental retardation. Courses
