Faculty

Meet the faculty

Under the leadership of Department Chair Walter R. Lowe, MD, the Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston (external link) has cultivated a world-class faculty comprising national and international experts in every subspecialty of orthopedic surgery. While our clinicians are globally recognized for pioneering surgical innovations and high-volume clinical excellence, our program prides itself on an equally vital mission: ensuring our faculty are meticulously trained to be exceptional educators. By combining an unparalleled, diverse operative caseload at premier institutions like Memorial Hermann with an intentional focus on mentorship and teaching pedagogy, we empower our residents to transition seamlessly from skilled trainees to elite surgical leaders.
