Bettering Our World University Orthopedics continues its commitment to the community . In addition to a record-setting year for the Mark Palumbo Memorial University Orthopedics 5K — which raised
$ 45,000 for The Tomorrow Fund — we also took our medical skills into the local and global community . To help bridge a lingering gender gap in orthopedics , University Orthopedics partnered with the Lincoln School to expose more young women to the professions with “ Orthopaedics in Action .” Taught by UOI surgeons , the unique , hands-on curriculum featured real-world challenges from orthopedic surgery and biomedical engineering . The program was made available to students at the Lincoln School and The Met High School in Providence .
Several UOI surgeons also provided much-needed medical care around the globe . Dr . Craig Eberson and Dr . Julia Katarincic both traveled to Honduras on separate missions , while orthopedic trauma surgeon Roman Hayda , MD , traveled to war-torn Ukraine not once , but twice .
Notable Honors As the backbone of University Orthopedics , our employees are vital to ensuring our patients receive the best care possible . That is why we were so honored that , with input from our employees , University Orthopedics was named among the Best Places to Work in Rhode Island for 2022 .
