Rameez Qudsi, M.D., is a dual-fellowship trained pediatric orthopedic surgeon specializing in hand and upper extremity. He grew up in Toms River, New Jersey, where he volunteered as an EMT and decided early that he wanted to focus on medical care for children. Dr. Qudsi received a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from Harvard College in 2006 and an M.D. from the joint Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology program in 2011.

Dr. Qudsi completed the Harvard Combined Orthopaedic Residency Program in 2018, including a postdoctoral research fellowship at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and earned an MPH in clinical effectiveness and global orthopedics, with a focus on pediatric orthopedics in Haiti. He completed a pediatric orthopedics fellowship at Nemours AI DuPont Hospital for Children in Delaware, a Hand and Upper Extremity fellowship at the Mary S. Stern Hand Fellowship in Cincinnati, and a one-month traveling fellowship in pediatric hand and shoulder at Shriners Children’s Philadelphia. He joined the faculty at Dartmouth as an assistant professor of orthopaedics and pediatrics in 2020, with an academic focus on pediatric upper extremity, congenital hand, pediatric trauma and global surgery.

Dr. Qudsi has received AFSH and foundation travel grant funding for his work in Jordan, Pakistan, Colombia and Haiti, and has presented at numerous national and international conferences. He remains active in POSNA, ASSH, SICOT, AAP and AAOS, serving as the current Global Outreach Committee Chair for the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America and as a past subcommittee chair for the Section on Orthopaedics of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
