The South Carolina Orthopedic Association established a Foundation and began to fund a Global Orthopedic Residency Initiative. The AAOS Board of Councilors also endorsed and added funding for the program. This program will create an educational initiative between the three South Carolina orthopedic residency programs (Charleston, Columbia, and Greenville) and the Haitian orthopedic residency program at Hospital de la Paix in Port-au-Prince.
