The Fondren Orthopedic Research Institute (FORI) is a leading institution dedicated to orthopedic research. We are committed to advancing the field of orthopedics and improving patient care. Through our research, we aim to drive innovation and discoveries that benefit individuals with musculoskeletal conditions. We recognize the transformative impact of data in orthopedic research, and we are harnessing the power of big data, data analytics, and machine learning to accelerate the way research is conducted and increase its relevance in clinical practice.
We actively collaborate with industry partners, academic institutions, and healthcare organizations to advance data collection and analysis. By working together, we drive progress in orthopedic research and enhance patient care.
In addition to our research activities, FORI provides training to a range of students from high school to clinical fellows. Our studies are designed to help students develop the knowledge and skills they need to pursue careers in orthopedics, while encouraging them to ask thought provoking, scientific, questions. We believe that by providing high-quality training to students of all levels, we can help to ensure that the next generation of orthopedic researchers and clinicians are well-equipped to meet the challenges of the future.
