Specific Advice for Matching into Orthopaedic Surgery
The series of prior posts have been fairly general, with the purpose of lending advice to all medical students. Even my examples relating to Orthopaedic Surgery have been broadly applicable. But in this section I’ll focus on items that may only apply to Ortho. This section will be more concise and direct. Specifically, I’ll hone in on the following:
- Are you competitive for Orthopaedic Surgery?
- Your home Ortho program
- Blue collar vs. White collar programs
- Away rotations
- Ortho interviews and Matching
Let’s start.
