As many of you know, the Howard University Orthopaedic Residency Program lost it’s accreditation in June 2024, leaving many resident trainees in limbo. Fortunately, our members sprang into action and capitalized on their academic and personal connections to help these budding future Orthopaedic Surgeons. The Gladden Society is pleased to announce the outcome of these efforts. All prior Howard University Orthopaedic residents have found new programs, with the details below:
Orthopaedic Surgery Programs
Case/University Hospitals of Cleveland
Cleveland Clinic Foundation (3 residents taken)
Georgetown
John Hopkins
University of Miami
University of Illinois – Chicago
University of Connecticut
University of Miami
University of Pennsylvania
University of Virginia
Anesthesia Program
Case/University Hospitals of Cleveland
For those Gladden Society members that are involved, we implore you to continue to support these residents in their new environments.More importantly, with the loss of Howard’s Orthopaedic residency program, which was so integral in training so many of us and diversifying the field of Orthopaedic Surgery, it is more important now than ever that you partner with us in making sure that Orthopaedic Surgery residency programs remain as diverse as the patients they treat. Please get involved in JRGOS committees; please come to our annual luncheon; we need you!
