joints. This technology allows us to visualize the spine before and after and quantify exactly what those changes are and how they correlate with patient outcomes.” EOS® imaging technology is also available at NewYorkPresbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital, where Pediatric Spine and Scoliosis Surgery is led by Dr. Michael Vitale. Dr. Vitale specializes in nonoperative and operative treatment of complex pediatric spinal problems, with a special interest in treatment for early onset scoliosis. “Our goals are to give the best care that we can possibly give to patients with a spinal pathology; to promote and perform research to advance spinal care; and, finally, to teach the next generation of academic spine surgeons so that they can continue this work going forward,” says Dr. Riew. “We are thrilled to welcome these extraordinary surgeons who have made transformative contributions to the field of spinal care and surgery,” says Steven J. Corwin, MD, CEO of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. “As we expand the scope of our orthopedics program to include a new, comprehensive spine hospital in upper Manhattan, their ability to deliver state-of-theart, patient-centered spine care of the highest quality will build on our strong foundation. They will be an invaluable resource to patients regionally, nationally, and beyond.” “This is an opportunity to be able to globalize spine care – not just in terms of geography, but globalization in terms of taking care of the patient – in the greatest city in the country, if not the world. Very few places can do this at such a comprehensive and high level.” — Dr. Ronald A. Lehman, Jr. “We will be able to perform any operation on the spine, from the most complex conditions to the most straightforward, which can also be debilitating,” says Dr. Lehman. “From my perspective, when patients have great outcomes everyone wins – the patients and families, the doctors, and the healthcare system. This is an opportunity to be able to globalize spine care – not just in terms of geography, but globalization in terms of taking care of the patient – in the greatest city in the country, if not the world. Very few places can do this at such a comprehensive and high level.” After graduating from West Point, Dr. Lehman received his medical degree from Jefferson Medical College. He completed his residency at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. and fellowship training in adult and pediatric spine surgery at Washington University School of Medicine. Dr. Lehman has published more than 120 peer-reviewed publications and currently serves as program chair of the Scoliosis Research Society and program co-chair of the Cervical Spine Research Society and Lumbar Spine Research Society. He is the recipient of several Department of Defense research grants totaling more than $10 million. Prior to joining the faculty at Washington University, Dr. Lehman served as a lieutenant colonel in the Army. He was the Chief of the Adult and Pediatric Spine Service at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, as well as a consultant to the White House. Comprehensive and Expedited Spine Care for Patients The new spine initiative incorporates a specialized multidisciplinary team, with orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, neurologists, radiologists, rehabilitation medicine and pain management specialists, physical and occupational therapists, highly advanced intensivists, and hospitalists who will work together to provide a comprehensive approach to diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical care. Orthopedic Surgery GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION AT NYU LANGONE HEALTH DC 9/14/2020 INTRODUCTION In 1997, the departments of orthopedic surgery at the Hospital for Joint Diseases (now NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital) and NYUMedical Center (now NYU Langone Health), created a single orthopedic surgery residency and fellowship program that combined the academic excellence and traditions of two historic institutions. Today, the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at NYU Langone Health boasts the largest, and one of the most prestigious, orthopedic residency programs in the nation. In addition, we offer fellowship programs in every major orthopedic subspecialty while providing educational opportunities for undergraduate students, medical students and orthopedic surgeons from the United States and around the world. A PROUD HISTORY OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE The NYU Langone orthopedic education programs are rooted in the very origins of orthopedic education in this country. Orthopedic education at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine traces its origins to the nineteenth century and its long-term association with Bellevue Hospital. When Dr. Lewis Albert Sayre was appointed Professor of Orthopedic Surgery, Fractures, and Dislocations at Bellevue in 1853, it represented the first orthopedic professorship in North America. Dr. Sayre held this title, and later that of Professor of Clinical Surgery, until 1898, when Bellevue Hospital Medical College merged with University Medical College of NYU to become the New York University School of Medicine. Dr. Sayre trained many of the country’s first orthopedic surgeons, thus making ours the oldest such orthopedic training program in the United States. The history of the the Hospital for Joint Diseases begins in 1905, when brothers Drs. Henry and Herman Frauenthal, founded the
