Seems like the overwhelming majority of orthopedic program directors & chairmen have backgrounds in Joints & Arthoplasty, or Traumatology, or Spine.

Wondering if anybody knows any PDs/Chairman who are Pediatricians? Or Hand guys? Or Sports? Or Tumor?

actually, to keep this thread going, as I feel it is helpful to know who where does what:

Ranjan Gupta - UC Irvine Chair - Shoulder & Hand

and I'm not so sure about Georgetown pd being peds, think he's actually spine

Good plan. Dr. Gupta at UCI is a great guy -- also probably the youngest chair in the country -- impressive.
