Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare is one of the nation's Best Children's Hospitals for pediatric orthopedics. Our orthopedic surgeons treat complex orthopedic conditions resulting from cerebral palsy, osteogenesis imperfecta, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy and other lifelong conditions. Patients with common pediatric orthopedic conditions - such as scoliosis, clubfeet, hip instability, and fractures - are also cared for using evidence based medicine to promote optimal outcomes.
We have a growing research program and are continually seeking motivated and bright undergraduates who are looking for patient-related research experience. Students will have the opportunity to work closely with surgeons, clinical scientists, and research coordinators on our research efforts at Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare.
