Research & Education
Research fuels our high-quality patient care, as the Orthopedic Surgery Division works to better understand arthritis and other conditions that affect the joints. Our surgeons are actively involved in leading-edge orthopedic research – both clinical studies and basic science research – and are committed to bringing improved techniques and treatments to patients.
We are committed to scientific and clinical impact in improving care for arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, and the proximity of basic researchers and clinician-scientists provides the full spectrum of expertise required to make discoveries in basic, translational and clinical research. We continue to strive to establish ourselves as the premier hospital for all arthritis research.
Through our collaboration with the medical school at the University of Toronto, we are fostering the development of the best surgical leaders of tomorrow. We are one of North America's largest teaching centres for orthopedic surgeons, giving medical students a unique hands-on education experience. Not only do interns and fellows learn the latest surgical techniques, but their research skills are also honed with the goal that they one day lead medical discovery.
