ORIN® is designed to help medical students develop an application plan specifically for orthopaedic surgery residency.

Students can use available search parameters to determine the programs that best align with their needs. Search parameters include median USMLE Step 1 and 2 scores, percentage of minority or female residents, number of residents, and geographical location.

Program information is sourced directly by program administrators and directors.

All information available to medical students within ORIN® is directly reported by the program itself. This reduces inaccuracies often found in crowdsourced documents. Program managers have a login and can add and edit program data, as needed.

What is a “CORD Member Program”?

CORD Member programs account for 96% of orthopaedic surgery residency programs. A CORD Member institution is defined as a program which holds membership in the AOA’s Council of Orthopaedic Residency Directors, a body of educators dedicated to facilitating excellence in musculoskeletal graduate medical education.
