Residents' Research Day
Each year, with the support of the "Dr. John C. Kennedy Memorial Endowment Fund" (a fund within the London Community Foundation), and industry support from various orthopaedic medical companies, a special conference day is held for the Year 2, Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5 residents in the Orthopaedic Surgery training program. They are given the opportunity to present poster presentations (Year 2) and podium abstract presentations (Year 3 to Year 5) of their clinical or research interest. Each paper is evaluated by a distinguished Visiting Professor (Orthopaedic Surgeon) who will also deliver the J.C. Kennedy Memorial Lecture.
The orthopaedic residents and faculty receive various awards within the Division:
- W. Harvey Bailey Award - for the best basic science paper
- Bailey Resident Award - for the resident who shows outstanding skills in teaching and mentoring fellow residents or medical students
- James F. Allen Memorial Award - for the resident who best demonstrates enthusiasm, excellence and interest in community orthopaedics
- James H. Roth Memorial Award - for the best PGY-2 poster presentation
- The H.S. Cameron Award for Teaching Excellence (Faculty) - for the best clinical teacher
- The C.H. Rorabeck Award for Surgical Mentorship (Faculty) - for the best intra-operative teacher
