Welcome!
The Cedars-Sinai Orthopaedic Residency Program was first established in 2011 to meet a growing demand for highly trained, highly skilled, and compassionate orthopaedic surgeons. Since then, the residency and department have grown in tandem. Through the recruitment of dedicated academic orthopaedic faculty in all subspecialties and collaborations with Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles (CHLA) and the Kerlan-Jobe Institute, residents have gained diverse, high-yield educational opportunities. Under the leadership of Dr. Eugene Tsai, program director, and Dr. Mark Vrahas, department chairman, Cedars-Sinai is carrying out its mission for superb clinical care and exceptional surgical training.
