Our extensive referral base includes five primary counties in central Pennsylvania, as well as referrals from the extended central Pennsylvania region.
Our children's hospital is also immediately adjacent to Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, the region's tertiary care facility and adult trauma center. Potential candidates would join a large, nationally-acclaimed academic practice with strong subspecialty programs in all aspects of orthopaedic care. Our department supports an ACGME-accredited residency program as well as fellowships in foot and ankle, trauma, sports medicine, and primary care sports medicine.
