Master Your Skills.
Real Anatomy. Optimize Patient Outcomes.
We don't just teach—we train. Master your clinical skills through small-group, fresh-tissue bioskills labs led by world-class faculty.
A nonprofit continuing education program of the Orthopaedic Foundation.
The Drop In Dissection Club
A standing monthly session of hands-on cadaveric dissection. Each month explores a different region, with fresh-frozen specimens and surgical instruments ready. Come deepen your anatomy.
- Monthly at the Orthopaedic Foundation Bioskills Lab, New York, NY
- Capped at 24 for real hands-on time
- $150 per session

Why Clinicians Choose the Orthopaedic Foundation Learning Academy
Real Tissue, Not Simulation
Fresh-frozen cadaveric specimens deliver authentic tactile feedback that synthetic models and digital screens cannot replicate.
Small Groups, Maximum Repetition
Labs are strictly capped at a low faculty-to-student ratio for maximum hands-on time under direct faculty guidance.
Credit That Counts
Every CME course awards applicable continuing education credit toward licensure requirements and maintenance of certification.
One Comprehensive Curriculum. The Complete Care Team.
Our courses are designed to bring the entire orthopaedic care team into a single, high-fidelity learning environment. By training side-by-side, providers align their diagnostic, procedural, and rehabilitative strategies to optimize patient outcomes.
Advanced Surgical & Clinical Insights
Refining procedural execution and structural precision.
- Anatomical Variations: Master complex joint access and identify real-tissue structural anomalies using fresh-tissue specimens.
- Procedural Efficiency: Practice advanced fixation, portal placement, and soft-tissue handling techniques in a state-of-the-art bioskills lab.
- Surgical Alignment: Align directly with your rehabilitation team to establish cohesive, evidence-based postoperative pathways.
Acute Diagnostics
Translating mechanism of injury to direct anatomical visualization.
- Direct Visualization: Bridge the gap between clinical special tests and actual, three-dimensional ligamentous and soft-tissue anatomy.
- Acute Stress Mechanics: Observe exactly how forces break down tissue structures to drastically improve diagnostic accuracy.
- Advanced Management: Practice advanced acute stabilization and mobilization techniques directly alongside trained surgeons.
Evidence-Based Biomechanical Rehab
Mastering the structural rationale behind comprehensive recovery.
- Structural Limits: Feel the true end-feel and tissue tension of intact vs. repaired structures to safely guide aggressive rehabilitation.
- Surgical Rationale: Learn the precise mechanical realities of modern anchors, grafts, and sutures to perfectly time loading protocols.
- Objective Criteria: Refine your return-to-play testing matrices by matching clinical functional scores with deep structural insights.
