Student Osteopathic Orthopedic Association

The Student Osteopathic Orthopedic Association (SOOA) aims to form a bridge between Osteopathic Medicine and Orthopedic Surgery. The group tries to provide all members with the opportunity to change the future of Osteopathic Orthopedic medicine and promotes the development of well educated and experienced health care practitioners. To do this, the club will invite orthopedists to come speak to club members regarding orthopedics as a career, the residency application, the orthopedic residency, as well as other areas of interest. The group is working to provide members with local shadowing opportunities, setting up various teaching assistant driven surgical skills/suturing clinics, as well as physician directed surgical dissections.
