Dr. Osterman grew up in Wheeling, West Virginia before attending Yale College where he majored in photography and graduated Summa Cum Laude. After graduation, he traveled on a Guggenheim Fellowship photographing original stained glass in Europe. Subsequent to that, he traveled to Tanzania where he photographed physicians working with the Wagogos and the Masai on an UNESCO project that eventually became a book, Jungle Doctor Panorama. That experience, combined with a family medical background, set him on a course to medical school. He spent the next 10 years of training at the University of Pennsylvania where he attended medical school, completed his Orthopaedic Residency and also his Hand Fellowship under the guidance of Dr. F. William Bora. He then continued his specialty training with a Microvascular Fellowship at Duke University. He returned to the University of Pennsylvania where he became a tenured Associate Professor and where he remained in practice until 1993. The opportunity then arose to join The Philadelphia Hand Center and The South Jersey Hand Center, a practice that encompasses the full gamut of upper extremity problems, from fingertip to shoulder and everything in between. Dr. Osterman is the current President of Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center as well as the current Director of the Hand Fellowship program-a 7 person, ACGME accredited program which is co-hosted by Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.
