Indigo Design Company was selected for the new Howard University Department of Orthopaedic Surgery website. This Program offers four years of training that provide the resident broad experiences in orthopaedic surgery. There are five principal hospitals with over 200 orthopaedic beds and 2,923 admissions yearly--Howard University Hospital, District of Columbia General Hospital (including the Handicapped and Crippled Children's Service), Providence Hospital, the Veterans Administration Hospital, Sinai Hospital of Baltimore, and Children's Hospital National Medical Center. These hospitals have large outpatient clinics, which afford an opportunity for follow-up and ambulatory care. The rotations are for periods of three months and each hospital has junior and senior resident positions. These hospitals provide a spectrum of experiences ranging from municipal, Federal and private community hospitals to a university hospital setting. Residents are rotated through these hospitals to complete their training in adult orthopaedics, trauma and children's orthopaedic surgery.

The attending staff are extensively involved in teaching. Each participating hospital holds regular conferences. Combined clinical and basic sciences teaching conferences are held three times weekly at Howard University Hospital.
