history of huh orthopaedic alumni association

Howard University Hospital Orthopaedic Alumni Association was founded in 2007 through efforts led by Dr. Willie Banks, an Orthopaedic Surgeon graduate of Howard University.  The premise was to create a coalition of like-minded alumni with hearts of service to give back to the Orthopaedic Surgery program enhancing the quality of experience for residents.  This is an opportunity to have a true fellowship of professionals dedicated to advancing Orthopaedics through a commitment to educational excellence.
