Midwest Foundation for Orthopaedic Research and Education was established by the physicians of OrthoIllinois in 2009 for two purposes. The first purpose was to provide professional development and continuing medical education credit opportunities through symposiums and lectures for physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physical and occupational therapists, and emergency response professionals from throughout the midwest United States.
The second objective of the Foundation is to provide funding for physician-initiated musculoskeletal and outcomes-related research that may advance the quality of healthcare provided for patients of these physicians and for the public at large.
In additional to educational conferences, and research funding, Midwest Foundation for Orthopaedic Research and Education operates a fully equipped private wet lab center in Rockford, Illinois to provide access to surgical training, research, and product development for medical professionals and entrepreneurial-minded companies and individuals.
