OPTION 1
–––––––––

Option 1 provides a choice of ONE of the following three courses:

  • Art of Grant Writing: This didactic component can be paired with an in-person session at the ORS Annual Meeting. It covers different grant funding mechanisms, project planning, managing collaborations, and the peer review process.

  • Orthopaedic Basic Science: The Orthopaedic Basic Science Course will explain the science behind the decisions, treatments, and procedures that are performed in practice every day. Understanding the science behind clinical choices is essential as we strive to improve patient care.

  • Principles of Clinical Research: Have you ever had an idea? A new diagnostic test? A modifiable risk factor? A cost-effective alternative? Wondering how to improve outcomes? Clinical research is for you. Clinical research is the critical investigative method to test hypotheses directly influencing our patients. The efficacy of interventions, the prognosis of patients, and the improvement in healthcare delivery rely heavily on clinical research, in some cases solely.

This option will also include the following TWO career development
courses:
  • Enhanced Writing and Publication Skills: Written communication is one of the most essential tools for maximizing the impact of scientific
    discoveries. This course covers ethics in writing, strategies for impactful writing, and leveraging social media to share your work, among other topics.

  • New Investigator Toolkit: The toolkit addresses common gaps in training that surface during the launch of an independent laboratory. These sessions bring together early and mid-career investigators for panel discussions on developing critical 'soft skills' such as cultivating mentoring skills, building your lab brand, and strategic planning through different career stages. In addition, budgeting and peer-review sessions provide tangible tips for these important aspects of managing your lab and building your career.
