Orthopaedic Residents

Three members of TOA’s Resident Council – Joey Romero, MD, Max Danilevich, MD and Jacob Muphree, MD – are pictured visiting with Congressman Kenny Marchant in Washington, DC.

The residents from the Texas’ 13 residency programs represent the future of orthopaedics in Texas. TOA dedicates numerous resources to ensure that residents are prepared to meet the public policy, business, and clinical challenges that they will face when they begin their orthopaedic practices.

Five orthopaedic residents make up TOA’s Residency Council:

  • Jordan Handcox, MD (UT Health Science Center San Antonio)
  • Max Danilevich, MD (UTMB)
  • Joey Romero, MD (UT Southwestern)
  • Jacob Murphree, MD (Texas Tech)
  • Carl Nunziato, MD (Dell Medical School at UT Austin)

In addition to developing TOA’s resident agenda, the residents also travel with TOA to Washington, DC every summer to advocate on behalf of patients and orthopaedic surgeons.
