PediOrtho WEST Pediatric Orthopaedic Core Curriculum

Welcome to PediOrtho WEST

This core curriculum was designed to provide a virtual version of the PediOrtho WEST (Western Education & Surgical Techniques) Resident Education Course, held annually at Shriners Hospital for Children—Northern California.

The purpose of the curriculum is twofold:

1. Offer an educational resource for residents in a time when in-person training is difficult to achieve.

2. Provide early exposure to pediatric orthopaedics, generating enthusiasm for the subspecialty.

Thanks to the generous support of the Foundation for Advancing Pediatric Orthopaedics, we can offer this program at no cost. A free account is required to access the curriculum.
