Hudson Regional Health · In partnership with New York Medical College
Our five-year curriculum combines an intensive foundation in general orthopedic surgery with progressive subspecialty training, graduated operative autonomy, structured simulation, longitudinal mentorship, and individualized career development.
Foundation → Mastery → Independence → Leadership
Hudson Orthopedics is not simply a collection of rotations — it is a structured curriculum built to make residents successful on the OITE, ABOS boards, fellowship applications, and in independent practice.
Expand each year to see its focus, major rotations, and key educational milestones as residents progress from foundational skills to chief-level autonomy.
The first year is designed to transform the medical school graduate into an orthopedic physician. Residents learn how to evaluate the injured patient, recognize urgent conditions, formulate a differential diagnosis, interpret imaging, perform essential procedures, prepare for surgery, and function effectively as members of the orthopedic team.
Direct supervision by Vincent McInerney, MD · assisted by Frank McCormick, MD
These are not disconnected internship rotations — each is intentionally connected back to orthopedic practice:
Immersion across the core orthopedic subspecialties with growing operative participation and increasing confidence in the operating room.
Expanded operative responsibility and complex case exposure across subspecialties alongside rising research productivity.
Focused subspecialty depth, advanced surgical exposure, and dedicated scholarly work — the year of refinement.
Service leadership and operative autonomy as residents prepare for fellowship, board examinations, and independent practice.
Responsibility is earned through demonstrated competence — not simply the passage of time.

Residents develop technical skills and clinical judgment through a structured progression from supervised learning to independent decision making.
Residents pursue scholarship across ten tracks, supported by faculty mentorship, dedicated academic time, and the SIGMA Outcomes & Performance Lab.
Residents rotate across a connected network of teaching hospitals and specialty centers throughout the greater New York metro region.
Clinical excellence begins with educational excellence — anchored by nationally recognized learning platforms and longitudinal board preparation.
A comprehensive orthopedic educational framework aligned with residency milestones and board preparation, used throughout training.
A foundational educational platform structuring weekly orthopedic resident learning and self-assessment.
Structured longitudinal preparation beginning in PGY-1 to maximize resident performance and board preparedness.
Structured preparation for ABOS Part I and Part II, built around mentorship and realistic practice examinations.
Beyond rotations and conferences — twelve longitudinal threads run continuously from PGY-1 through graduation.
Residents build technical fluency in a low-stakes environment before translating skills to the operating room.
Residents participate in dedicated, hands-on surgical skills training throughout the program — building technical proficiency outside the operating room.
Residents receive training across the full breadth of orthopaedic subspecialties throughout their five years.
Residents progress from foundational exposure to increasingly advanced subspecialty experiences across the five-year curriculum, with senior electives supporting individualized career goals and fellowship preparation.
A defining Hudson differentiator — deliberate leadership training woven through all five years of training.
Graduates of the Hudson Regional Orthopaedic Surgery Residency will possess the clinical judgment, technical proficiency, professionalism, leadership skills, research literacy, and innovative mindset necessary to excel in fellowship training or independent practice.
Clinical judgment and decision-making across all orthopaedic subspecialties
Technical proficiency built through high-volume, progressive operative experience
