Medical Education
Fu has been committed to medical students, residents, and fellows demonstrated by his mentorship and training of aspiring and young orthopaedic surgeons. The UPMC orthopaedic residency program has become one of the most sought after program in America, ranking No. 7 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report in 2011. Fifteen graduates have secured Harvard/Mass General faculty appointments, and over 25 of Dr. Fu’s former fellows and residents head prestigious orthopaedic departments or sports medicine programs around the world. The UPMC program has produced more chairmen than any other orthopaedic program. He has supported a new initiative attracting more females to the male-dominated surgical specialty. In December 2010, Dr. and Mrs. Fu established the Freddie and Hilda Fu Endowed Fund in Orthopaedic Surgery by donating $1 million to the University of Pittsburgh to support education and training programs in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery.
