This curriculum, with a systemic structural approach, will be developed over four years, in a full-time dedication modality and a degree of face-to-face attendance by the resident, for their training in the Orthopedics and Traumatology services of the adult and pediatric clinical-surgical hospitals accredited for postgraduate teaching, organized in the form of stays and rotations through certain surgical specialties that participate at different times of the training process, in all of them linking the work component of comprehensive medical-surgical care with the academic, research, and management components.

The Program is structured in 6 areas of knowledge, distributed in 38 modules, 34 of them aimed at the function of medical assistance and the remaining four, corresponding to the functions of research, teaching-educational and administration, so that the resident will finish their studies with a high level of skill and depth in knowledge for the fulfillment of their assistance, research, teaching, and management functions.

The academic process takes place in real and autonomous teaching scenarios, where the resident is an active entity of self-learning, self-preparation and, together with the professor designated as training tutor, develop, guide and direct the entire process, as responsible parties and guarantors of its quality, directly and permanently supervise it, systematically control and evaluate its progress in academic activities
