Orthopaedic education is a dynamic process. It begins before medical school and continues throughout the years of the surgeon’s practice. Because the discipline of orthopaedic surgery is progressing so rapidly, orthopedists must constantly update their knowledge and skills and be willing to critically appraise their own work. It is our goal to promote self-directed, life long learning skills. In our residency program, emphasis is placed on assisting each resident in gaining basic knowledge, clinical and surgical skills and then help them apply these principles in practice.

We recognize navigating a very large Academic Medical Center can be daunting. Our referring provider liaisons are here to assist you wherever possible. Our liaisons work to ensure outstanding service for both referring providers and their patients.

The referring provider liaison is a resource for all providers outside UF Health, whether you're getting in touch with UF Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine for the first time or have an ongoing relationship with us and our providers. Provider liaisons work closely with UF Orthopaedic’s clinical areas to bring the most up-to-date, relevant information to referring providers and their staff members.

The provider liaisons in our office can:

  • Visit you: We'll travel to your office to discuss the referral process, provide any necessary training, share relevant referral materials and contact information, and answer any questions you have about referring patients to UF Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine.
  • Arrange a UF Orthopaedic’s physician visit: A UF Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine physician can visit your office to meet you and your colleagues and discuss your specialties and expertise. This also provides us an opportunity to learn more about your practice and how we can collaborate to provide optimal care for mutual patients.
  • New Services and Payor Information:
  • Provide information about continuing medical education: Get the latest details on our Grand Rounds presentations and Continuing Medical Education. We can arrange for a UF Orthopaedics physician to give a talk to your Faculty and Staff for CMU / CEU credit.
  • Latest Research & Clinical Trials: We can help you locate information about our trials, including how to enroll.
  • Listen to your feedback: How was your experience interacting with UF Orthopaedics? And how was your patient's experience? Let us know what went smoothly and how we can improve.
