The program emphasizes continuous assessment of residents' fund of knowledge, patient care quality, practice-based learning, professionalism, interpersonal skills, and system-based practice.

Residents are encouraged to engage in research activities throughout the program and must complete a publication-worthy project. The program supports residents' attendance at educational conferences, including AO Basic and advanced courses, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery conference, and a Board Review conference.

The program supports living in New York City and follows the guidelines established by the Office of Graduate Medical Education.
