Orthopedic Externship for Highschoolers

Premier Pulse     April 2022

Orthopedics is a physician specialty with glaring disparities in gender and race, and the issue is one that the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons takes seriously. Premier Health is committed to making a difference through exposure within our community, especially to our high school women and minority students. We are hosting a second annual week-long program this summer during which students will shadow orthopedic surgeons in their office, the operating room, and in simulation labs for hands on exposure.

If you know anyone from the greater Dayton area who might be interested in participating, please reach out to Michael Herbenick, MD, at maherbenick@PremierHealth.com or BJ Krech at wjkrech@PremierHealth.com to request an application.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: May 15, 2022

PROGRAM DATE: July 25-29, 2022

LOCATION: Miami Valley Hospital South, 2400 Miami Valley Dr., Centerville, OH 45459
