Visiting MS4 Rotation

Join the University of Utah Department of Orthopaedics for a 4 week rotation in Orthopaedic Surgery. This rotation is available to visiting 4th year medical students interested in orthopaedics.

Many medical students gain priceless insight and learn why the University of Utah Department of Orthopaedics is such a unique place for residency.
