Dr. Leslie Vidal spoke at Youth Power 365 ‘s Young Health Professionals club on Wednesday, Nov. 10th, 2021 at CMC in Edwards, Colorado.
Volunteering her time, Dr. Leslie Vidal met with a group of high school students, interested in joining the medical field. Dr. Vidal gave the students information on what she does and answered questions about her career as an orthopedic surgeon and orthopedic sports medicine specialist. The students were able to use an ultrasound, and learn about how to read the images on the screen.
She enjoys inspiring these young-future medical professionals by giving them a unique inside look at orthopedics and to guide and encourage them on their future career paths.
About The Steadman Clinic:
The Steadman Philippon Research Institute is dedicated to keeping people of all ages physically active through orthopaedic research and education in the areas of arthritis, healing, rehabilitation, and injury prevention.
Founded in 1988 by orthopaedic surgeon Dr. J. Richard Steadman, the Steadman Philippon Research Institute is an independent, tax-exempt (IRS code 501(c)(3)) charitable organization, employing scientists, researchers, fellows, visiting scholars, and interns.
The Steadman Philippon Research Institute is known throughout the world for our research into the causes, prevention and treatment of orthopaedic disorders. We are committed to solving orthopaedic problems that limit an individual’s ability to maintain an active life.
Our research perspective is based on clinical relevance, with a goal of improving the care of the patient. Recognizing that the body’s innate healing powers can be harnessed and manipulated to improve the healing process has led to exciting advances in surgical techniques, such as microfracture and innovative rehabilitation developed by Dr. Richard Steadman, and validated at our Institute. Today, the Institute is recognized worldwide for Dr. Marc Philippon’s pioneering research for the treatment of sports related injuries to the hip.
