Hudson Regional Health · In partnership with New York Medical College
Dedicated educators, accomplished surgeons, innovative researchers, and committed mentors training the next generation of orthopedic leaders.
The Hudson Regional Health Orthopedic Surgery Residency Program is built upon a faculty culture centered on mentorship, surgical excellence, academic inquiry, and resident development.
At Hudson Regional Health, residents train directly with accessible faculty leaders, department chairs, subspecialty experts, researchers, and private-practice innovators. Our faculty model combines academic rigor, high-volume clinical mentorship, translational research, and real-world orthopedic practice.
Dear Future Residents,
Welcome, and thank you for your interest in the Hudson Regional Orthopedic Surgery Residency Program.
It is my privilege to serve as Program Director as we launch a residency built upon a simple but ambitious vision—to train exceptional orthopedic surgeons who combine outstanding surgical skill, sound clinical judgment, intellectual curiosity, compassion, and leadership.
Orthopedic surgery continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace. Advances in technology, biologics, minimally invasive surgery, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and patient-centered care are reshaping how we diagnose, treat, and restore function. Our mission is to prepare residents not only to master today's standards of care, but also to become the innovators who define the future of our specialty.
Our curriculum is intentionally designed to provide a broad and rigorous surgical experience across every major orthopedic subspecialty. Residents gain progressive responsibility through high-volume clinical exposure while working alongside dedicated faculty who are deeply committed to teaching. We emphasize thoughtful decision-making, meticulous surgical technique, professionalism, and lifelong learning.
What distinguishes Hudson Regional is our commitment to individualized mentorship. We believe every resident has unique strengths, aspirations, and talents. Our faculty invest personally in each trainee, fostering an environment where residents are challenged, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential.
Equally important is our culture. We strive to cultivate a collegial, respectful, and collaborative learning environment where teamwork is valued, questions are encouraged, and excellence is pursued every day. We recognize that residency is both professionally demanding and personally transformative, and we are committed to supporting our residents throughout that journey.
Innovation is a cornerstone of our program. Through our expanding research initiatives, outcomes laboratories, simulation experiences, musculoskeletal ultrasound education, regenerative medicine programs, quality improvement projects, and collaborations with leaders across multiple disciplines, residents will have opportunities to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of orthopedic surgery while developing the critical thinking skills required of future physician leaders.
Located in one of the nation's most diverse and dynamic healthcare regions, our residents care for patients from every background and socioeconomic circumstance. This breadth of pathology, coupled with exposure to multiple hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, outpatient clinics, and specialty centers, creates an educational experience that is both comprehensive and uniquely rewarding.
Our ultimate goal is simple: when you graduate from Hudson Regional, you will possess the confidence, technical ability, judgment, and professionalism necessary to succeed in any career path you choose—whether that is fellowship training, academic medicine, private practice, hospital leadership, research, or military service.
Thank you for considering our residency program. We invite you to explore our curriculum, meet our faculty and residents, and discover what makes Hudson Regional an exciting place to train. We look forward to welcoming the next generation of orthopedic surgeons who will help shape the future of our profession.
Sincerely,
Program leadership sets the tone for a culture of mentorship, scholarship, and surgical excellence.

Primary and revision joint replacement using modern technologies and evidence-based techniques.
High-acuity musculoskeletal trauma and fracture care at Cooper University Hospital — a Level I Trauma Center.
Modern operative and non-operative management of spinal disorders across the full spectrum of spinal pathology.
Specialized training in musculoskeletal tumors — a major differentiator for the Hudson residency, led by nationally recognized surgeon Dr. James C. Wittig.
Training at Hoboken University Medical Center across hand, wrist, elbow — microsurgery to reconstruction.
Operative and non-operative management across reconstruction, trauma, and sports injuries of the foot and ankle.
Care for the developing musculoskeletal system at Nemours Children's Health — congenital conditions through pediatric sports injuries.
A dedicated research and innovation infrastructure led by Dr. Deepak Patel — including the SIGMA Outcomes & Performance Lab, AI initiatives, clinical trials, and translational research programs.
Representative reflections on the program's teaching philosophy. Actual faculty quotes will be added as they are collected.
I believe orthopedic education begins with trust, preparation, and progressive responsibility.
Residents learn best when they are challenged, supported, and empowered to grow.
Our responsibility extends beyond teaching surgery. We are helping shape future leaders.
Program metrics will populate as the inaugural classes advance. Figures shown are placeholders during build.
Residents benefit from direct access to faculty mentors who provide guidance in surgical development, research, fellowship planning, career development, and leadership training.

Our faculty bring training and experience from nationally recognized academic medical centers.
Four defining reasons why Hudson Orthopedics is built differently from other orthopedic residency programs.
Residents train directly with department chairs, division chiefs, and nationally recognized surgeons who are personally invested in your development. Access is not filtered through layers — you work shoulder-to-shoulder with the faculty who lead their subspecialties.
Community hospitals, tertiary referral centers, Level I trauma at Cooper University Hospital, pediatric orthopaedics at Nemours Children's Health, and dedicated orthopedic oncology training with Dr. James C. Wittig. Few programs offer this breadth in one residency.
Hudson integrates artificial intelligence, orthobiologics, digital health, clinical outcomes research, and value-based healthcare into a five-year curriculum designed to train surgeon-scientists — not just surgeons.
The Hudson residency is intentionally designed to produce surgeons who lead — in academic medicine, private practice, research, innovation, and the profession. Every component of the program, from mentorship to curriculum to culture, serves that mission.
Join a program where national leaders invest personally in your surgical training, academic growth, and professional future.
