A little PA Week appreciation, OrthoCarolina style. 👏
Our PA Fellows recently got out of the classroom and into an Arthrex Cadaver lab for some serious hands-on learning.
They’re getting a closer look at anatomy, surgical techniques and the procedures they’ll encounter in orthopedic practice. And yes, the photos are about as “hands-on” as it gets. 🫣
Shoutout to Rachel Szopa, PA-C, and Juanita Arredondo, PA-C for taking advantage of this unique learning opportunity, and thank you to orthopaedic surgery residents Dr. Maria Mueller (PGY-5) and Dr. Madeline Rieker (PGY-2) for helping support the lab and share their expertise.
If you’re looking for orthopedic care, you can find an OrthoCarolina PA and book your appointment online: https://fpgo.io/r/UNzLWZ
