We are always looking to help the next generation or those looking to further their education in the field of orthopedics. Dr. Silverman would not be the surgeon and person he is today if not for the bright minds that worked to foster an interest and understanding of the world of orthopedic surgery.
That’s why we’re so interested in helping others who are considering pursuing a career in the medical field. We’ve developed a number of academic relationships with individuals in all walks of life who want to learn more about orthopedic surgery or a related part of the healthcare world. Below, you can learn more about some of the academic relationships we’ve offered in the past, and you can see if you’d be a fit for one of our offerings.
Mentoring Opportunities
From high school students to residents and fellows, we’ve connected with individuals pursuing a wide variety of medical careers and helped them grow their understanding of the industry while also helping to bolster their resume. Here’s a look at some of the academic relationships we’ve offered in the past.
- High school students looking at a career in medicine.
- College students on the pre-med pathway, looking for more experience and expanding their relationships.
- Physical therapists looking to learn more about foot and ankle.
- Medical students looking to expand their exposure in the field of orthopedics.
- Podiatry residents and fellows looking for diverse foot and ankle experience, different training, unique cases, etc.
We’ve been offering most of these connections to the ideal candidates for more than a decade, and we’re always open to developing more academic relationships if it can help someone learn more or foster an interest in the medical world. Each one of these situations is handled on an individual basis based on what the candidate is looking for and how we believe we can best help, but if you think you’d be a good fit, we hope you’ll consider reaching out.
We want to help motivate and enlighten the next generation of healthcare professionals and orthopedic surgeons, so please don’t hesitate to contact our office if you’re interested in learning more. Even if what you’re looking for isn’t specifically mentioned on the above list, if we think it would be beneficial for both parties and you’re committed to growing through the experience, reach out and we’ll see what we can do to make it work.
