ABOUT THE

Program

The Orthopedics and Traumatology program of Universidad Industrial de Santander (UIS) was born responding to a regional need for specialists in this area, after a careful study of the needs and expectations of work in this specialty for the Colombian northeastern region, where there was no such possibility of training but a clear deficit of professionals in this specialty.
