Dr. Vanessa Lund and Dr. Julie Katarincic, department chair, along with several of our orthopedic residents and fellows, participated in the Perry Initiative on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at The Warren Alpert Medical School.

More than 40 medical students interested in pursuing a career in orthopedics attended the program. They had the opportunity to learn about careers in orthopedics, discuss the care of trauma patients, and get some hands-on experience with suturing, casting, and other skills.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this such a great experience for the students!
