 Our mission is to address health care disparities, improve cultural competency and access to health care for the increasingly diversified U.S. population by increasing the pipeline of medical students from gender and ethnic minority groups seeking to become orthopaedic surgeons. This is an effort to address the current paucity of female and ethnic minority orthopaedic surgeons, comprising approximately 7% and 3% of all U. S. orthopaedic surgeons, respectively.
Nth Dimensions Education Solutions is an educational non-profit organization whose goal is to provide the resources, expertise and experience through developmental programming, scholarships and grants to the aforementioned students enrolled in accredited U.S. medical schools.
Success Stories
We are pleased to announce that in 2011 80% of Nth Dimensions Scholars that applied for orthopaedic residency matched. A significant increase of the
50% match rate of 2010.
In 2010 the Nth Dimensions and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) partnered to expand the number of participants in the Orthopaedic Summer Internship Program. The partnership facilitates pooling of resources which provides interns with an enriched program of activities, opportunities, and mentorships.
