ONSF recently wrapped up its 12th Annual Mini-Med School, held June 23 -26 at the ONSF Arthroscopy, Surgical Skills, and Biomechanical Research Laboratory in Greenwich, CT. 🧬🩺

Sixteen exceptional high school students from public and private schools across the region took part in this immersive experience, gaining first-hand insight into orthopedic and neurological medicine.

Through interactive labs, lectures, and hands-on clinical skills training, including suturing, casting, and surgical simulations, they explored real-world practices while also learning the importance of teamwork, communication, and collaboration in healthcare.

Participants are selected through a nomination process led by science department heads from approximately 30 area high schools, each identifying rising sophomores and juniors who have shown a strong interest in science or medicine. It is an incredible opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of the field and explore future paths in healthcare.

A huge thank you to our physicians for generously sharing their time, knowledge, and enthusiasm to help inspire the next generation of medical professionals. 🥼

We hope you will take a moment to enjoy a few highlights from this memorable week.

🚀 From Internship to Residency Match: Nicole’s Path in Orthopedic Surgery

At ONSF, we don’t just focus on research and innovation in orthopedics, we invest in the next generation of clinicians. Nicole's journey is a powerful example of what’s possible when promising minds are given the opportunity to explore, contribute, and grow.

As a research intern at ONSF, Nicole immersed herself in the full patient experience, including preoperative planning, time in the O.R., and postoperative recovery. That firsthand exposure didn’t just teach her how orthopedic care is delivered, it inspired her.

“I truly fell in love with the field of orthopedic surgery. Shadowing and following patients throughout their surgical journeys gave me a deep appreciation for the field’s ability to restore function in a quick and meaningful way.”

In addition to clinical shadowing, Nicole contributed to ONSF’s research efforts, working on multiple projects helping shape her academic path.

“The work I completed during my internship not only provided me with ample material to speak about on my medical school interviews, but also on my residency interviews several years later.”

Nicole recently graduated from New York Medical College and matched into an orthopedic surgery residency at SUNY Downstate, a major milestone that reflects her dedication and hard work.

Nicole's story is a reminder of why our internship program exists. It gives future doctors the opportunity to not only witness excellence in care, but to take part in it, contribute to research, and walk away with experiences that shape their journey for years to come.

💡Nicole’s advice to future interns:
✔️ Say yes to every opportunity to observe and learn
✔️ Get involved in research early and often
✔️ Stay connected. Your mentors and peers will shape your growth long after your internship ends

🥼Congratulations, Nicole! We’re proud to have been part of your journey and even more excited to see the impact you’ll make in the field of orthopedics.

Dr. Kowalsky and the ONS Foundation hosted the Ardsley High School Pre-medical Club for another visit to the bioskills laboratory. In previous years, the group learned how to suture using pig feet as a model, and participated in a cadaver lab examining the anatomy of the shoulder and knee.

This year, they learned about the principles of arthroscopic surgery and fracture repair, and had an opportunity to perform these surgical procedures on models. Each student learned how to handle the arthrosope to visualize key structures within the knee joint, to remove loose bodies, and treat meniscus cartilage tears. They also performed fracture repair using an intramedullary nail for hip fracture, and a plate and screws for a forearm fracture.

The ONS Foundation looks forward to welcoming another group of aspiring health care professionals from high schools throughout Fairfield and Westchester counties as a part of its upcoming mini-medical school program.
