The University of Florida Orthopaedic Surgery program first began in 1960 as a division of the Department of Surgery. In 1975 the Division of Orthopaedic Surgery achieved full departmental status. From our beginning in 1960, the University of Florida Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation program has earned a reputation for excellence in research, teaching and clinical care. Our commitment to patient health care motivates every aspect of our efforts, from the bedside to the classroom to the research lab. The foundation of our department is built on two oustanding institutions: the University of Florida, a top 20 public university and Shands Healthcare, one of the Southeast's premier health systems.
