Welcome to the Leo Leung Orthopaedic Society

LLOS is a student group at the Perelman School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania dedicated to sparking interest in orthopaedic surgery and related research. The group organizes regular events providing students with a view into the life of orthopaedic surgeons and leading researchers, information about ongoing research projects at the University, as well as a free meal. In addition, LLOS partners with other student groups, like the Global Surgery Interest group and the Elizabeth Blackwell Society, to cohost events. 

LLOS is also committed to fostering relationships between interested medical students and ortho residents and faculty, helping to create shadowing and research opportunities.
