The American Orthopaedic Association's Council of
Orthopaedic Residency Directors (CORD) program is
dedicated to the promotion of excellence in Musculoskeletal
GME.
CORD provides a forum for the exchange of ideas
among leaders in orthopaedic programs. Department
Chairs, Program Directors, Fellowship Directors, Residency
Coordinators and program faculty typically attend CORD
conferences.
CORD works to recognize best practices in orthopaedic
residency education and fellowship education to achieve common
educational goals. This program also offers the opportunity
to work with stakeholders in education, promotion of the program
director's academic profile, along with mentorship and networking
opportunities.
