While our program is dedicated to increasing diversity in the field, being a female orthopedics resident remains a unique experience. Female residents in the program meet frequently with female faculty for mentorship and advice while also serving as mentors to the Women in Orthopedics Interest Group at the University of Colorado Medical School. We typically meet a few times per year to discuss rotations, applications, interviews, and opportunities over drinks at a local spot or hosted by one of our faculty.
Pride Ortho is a community of proactive lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ+) individuals and their allies with a mission to provide mentorship, networking in a safe space, and a sense of belonging for members of the orthopedic community.
