Medical Student BioSkills Workshops
AOFAS orthopaedic skills workshops offer opportunities for medical students to gain hands-on experience with orthopaedic instruments and techniques. The half-day workshop includes a series of "challenges" using orthopaedic power tools, followed by a Sawbones lab where AOFAS faculty will guide attendees through orthopaedic foot and ankle procedures in interactive small groups.
Medical Student BioSkills Workshops are FREE for medical students, but you must register in advance.
