Our next ✨Intern Spotlight✨, Caleb Bischoff!

Why Mizzou Ortho?: I grew up in Mid-Missouri, so Mizzou Ortho has always been a bit of a dream program for me. I was lucky to spend two years working in the ortho research department, and that gave me a real sense of the program—the resident camaraderie, the experience of a Level 1 trauma center, faculty who are invested in education, and the endless research opportunities. On top of that, the chance to train here while serving the people of Mid-Missouri made this program the perfect fit for me.

Favorite places in Columbia so far: Shakespeare’s Pizza, Logboat, Las Margaritas, and MKT trails

Hobbies/Interests: Spending time with my wife and boys, weightlifting, anything outdoors (walking trails, hiking, coaching soccer)

Subspecialty interests: Sports or Recon

Favorite OR music: Hip Hop

Favorite bone: Fabella

Our second ✨Intern Spotlight✨, Avery Schroeder!

Why Mizzou Ortho? I’m a Columbia, MO native and lifelong tiger fan, so Mizzou Ortho has been on my radar for a long time. I was fortunate to spend time with this program throughout my 4 years of medical school here - the resident camaraderie, combination of Level 1 trauma along with a large rural patient population, integrated research opportunities, and the opportunity to work and serve in my hometown make this a #1 program for me.

Columbia Favorites - RB State Park, MKT/Katy trails, Columbia Farmer’s Market, Lakota Coffee, Midway Antique Mall, D. Rowe’s, Angelo’s Pizza & Steakhouse, Shakespeare’s Pizza, Sophia’s

Hobbies/Interests - Time outside with my black lab Scout, Mizzou sports, crochet, antiquing, basketball/volleyball

Subspecialty interests - Pediatrics, Hand, and Sports

Favorite OR music - Country, but I love to switch it up!

Favorite bone 🦴- Femur

First up in our ✨Intern Spotlight✨, Austin Skinner!

Why Mizzou Ortho? The residents were awesome to work with when I rotated here. I loved the feel of being at a blue-collar program while still having tons of academic resources to help residents pursue all of their interests within orthopedics.

Hobbies/Interests: Weightlifting, Hanging out with my fiancé and our dog, spending time outside, hiking, fishing, catching up on movies and TV shows

Subspecialty interests: Peds, Joints, Sports

Favorite OR music: 90s hip hop
