NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Five residents were recently selected to receive scholarships to attend the Interdisciplinary Conference on Orthopedic Value-Based Care held here, April 29 to 30.
The recipients of the OVBC 2022 resident scholarships were Breana R. Siljander, MD, orthopedic surgery, PGY-5, University of Minnesota; Lazaro Mesa, MD, orthopedic surgery, PGY-3, University of South Florida/Florida Orthopaedic Institute; Joseph B. Wick, MD, orthopedic surgery, PGY-4, University of California, Davis; William L. Sheppard Jr., MD, MPH, orthopedic surgery, PGY-4, University of California, Los Angeles; and Micheal Raad, MD, orthopedic surgery, PGY-3, Johns Hopkins Hospital.
These scholarships were the result of an idea that Ranjan Gupta, MD, professor of orthopedics and neurobiology at University of California, Irvine, and conference associate activity chair, had in conjunction with Zeev N. Kain, MD, MBA, chancellor professor at University of California, Irvine, and president of the American College of Perioperative Medicine.
These first five recipients of the OVBC resident scholarships were selected from more than 30 applicants, many of whom were recommended by their department chairs or residency directors, according to Gupta.
Through attendance at the meeting, the scholarship winners had the opportunity to learn more about the future of musculoskeletal care delivery and “about things they don’t normally learn about that are integrally important to practicing as an orthopedic surgeon when they’re done with their training,” Gupta told Healio.
Among the topics they were exposed to at the 2-day meeting were contract negotiations; the differences between value and quality; private equity transactions; and orthopedic implant selection, Gupta said.
