A Message From Our Founder & Chair

Full Team Directory
Dr. Robert L. Parisien, Founder and Chair of SCORE

SCORE is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation dedicated to advancing orthopaedic patient care through educational and scientific initiatives that promote discovery, knowledge dissemination, and innovation across all orthopaedic subspecialties. SCORE cultivates education, mentorship, and professional networking by connecting clinicians, researchers, educators and trainees to share knowledge, foster collaboration, and support the next generation of orthopaedic leaders.

We welcome clinicians, researchers, educators, trainees, and industry partners to join the SCORE community and contribute to a collaborative network dedicated to advancing orthopaedic care. Together, we can foster meaningful connections, share knowledge, mentor the next generation, and transform ideas into meaningful impact for our patients and profession.

Sincerely,

Robert L. Parisien signature

Our Mission

Rigorous Science.
Meaningful Impact.

SCORE was founded on the belief that excellent clinical care is inseparable from excellent research. We bring together faculty, residents, and medical students to pursue questions that matter, from implant survivorship to health equity in orthopaedic access.

Our work is published in the field's leading journals, presented at national meetings and, most importantly, used to improve the care we deliver to patients every day.
