Surg Prelim to Ortho residency?? Possible??

[shahkg]

Hey guys, need some advice.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to do surgery or ortho, but I knew my grades wouldn't even get me considered for an Ortho spot. So I took a surg prelim to help my chances. I am at a program that has an Ortho residency (very small though) so I just wanted some advice as to how to approach trying to have a shot at a spot for next year.

Besides the "work your butt off" and "do well", any specific advice? I have papers published in Oncology/Molec Biology, but no Ortho research experience. Thanks for the advice in advance!!

Hey guys, need some advice.

The ortho guys at your new program can give you more insight than can be conveyed in this medium. Otherwise, check out orthogate.com.
