Program Overview
Thank you for your interest in JPS Health Network's Orthopaedic Residency program. Our program was founded in the 1970s with our first graduating class in 1976. Since that time, we have trained over 175 orthopaedic surgeons who now practice across the world with a dedication to clinical excellence and leadership within the field.
Our Mission Statement
We are dedicated to providing exceptional resident surgical training in a positive culture, while fostering academic excellence, and imparting balance to equip graduates who exemplify the highest ideals of our profession. Our commitment is to produce surgeons who excel clinically, lead with integrity, and positively impact their communities.
Program Structure
The JPS Orthopaedic Surgery Residency is designed to provide comprehensive training in all aspects of orthopaedic surgery over five years. Each class has four residents, ensuring a close-knit and collaborative learning environment.
Training Locations
The residency’s core is the experience within JPS Health Network, Tarrant County's public hospital system. JPS is a leading county hospital and Level I1 Trauma Center renowned for its high patient volume and diverse pathology. This unique setting allows residents to gain unparalleled clinical experience across a broad spectrum of orthopaedic conditions.
In addition to JPS, residents also rotate at Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, one of the largest freestanding pediatric hospitals in the country and a Level II Pediatric Trauma Center. There, they gain exposure to congenital and developmental disorders, pediatric trauma, and other conditions unique to the pediatric population
Our residents also rotate with community-based orthopaedic surgeons. We believe this exposure broadens resident experience via a variety of surgical techniques and practice settings, enhancing their adaptability and practical skills.

High Volume and Diverse Pathology: Exposure to an array of complex cases and patient populations across the full spectrum of orthopaedic surgical sub-specialties.
