DePuy Supports Graduate Medical Education

It put together an Educational Grants Board, which is comprised of orthopedic surgeons who are volunteers and don't receive compensation from the device industry to ensure that the review of applications and determination of awards are conducted in an unbiased way. The board members will not be given compensation for their work on the board either.Funding will be provided for clinical and research fellowships in orthopedic arthroplasty subspecialty areas (hips, knees elbow, trauma, etc.). The partnership is expected to help surgeons receive adequate training in an age in which orthopedic procedures and the demand for highly skilled surgeons continue to grow. OREF is finalizing grant criteria and will be announcing the application process in the coming weeks.
