TRIA Orthopaedic Research Institute. |
As part of our mission, TRIA Orthopaedic Center offers students and professionals with an educational need
the opportunity to observe orthopaedic professionals during their work day. Individuals who are interested
in observing must be at least 16 years-old and complete the following (once per calendar year):
-
Observer Application (PDF):
Must be thoroughly completed. If under the age of 18, we need both your signature as well as your
parent's. You may electronically sign this document with a digital signature (see the right column
for more information regarding electronic signatures), or print and sign a paper copy.
Be specific when answering the questions. If there is a certain provider you would like to observe,
be sure to include their name on your application form. Your responses help us determine:
- Educational need for observation.
- Time frame you are requesting to observe.
- Type of provider you will observe.
-
Guidelines and Confidentiality Agreement (PDF): You must read through
this document, then print and sign, or digitally sign the document (see the right column
for more information regarding electronic signatures). If you are under 18 years-old a parent or guardian must sign as well.
- Documentation of Immunizations for MMR (Rubella, Rubeola) and Hepatitis B.
You can obtain documentation of these immunizations from your primary care clinic.
Requests for observation will not be coordinated or confirmed until all items have been received.
The Education Coordinator must confirm each date of observation requested, even if it is arranged directly with
the provider. Applicants who do not contact the Education Coordinator prior to observing will not be allowed to stay.
In addition, observers who are not dressed professionally during their observation experience may
be asked to leave.
Please make sure to submit the required paperwork well in advance of the requested dates. Requests will be
coordinated in a first completed application received, first served fashion. Due to the number of requests we receive, not all
requests are filled as desired, and some may be denied.
If you have questions regarding this process, please contact the Research and Education Institute at
institute@tria.com or 952-806-5603.
Completed paperwork may be submitted by one of the following methods:
- Email: institute@tria.com
- Fax: 952-806-5469
- Mail: TRIA Orthopaedic Center
8100 Northland Drive
Bloomington, MN 55431
Attention: Observation Program
Once your request has been received and coordinated you will receive an Observation Confirmation email that will confirm
the date(s)/time(s), the provider(s), and what to do/where to go when you arrive at TRIA. You may not observe in any
department at TRIA Orthopaedic Center without receiving this confirmation email.
