LEARN MORE ABOUT ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY RESIDENCY 

RJOS/AMWA Medical Student Webinar: Meeting Orthopaedic Surgery Residents – Preparing for the 2022 Residency Application Season

With the limitation on away rotations this year, women medical students who are interested in careers in orthopaedic surgery may have limited or no opportunities to meet with women orthopaedic faculty and residents. In addition, while you have become facile in the use of virtual platforms over the past 18 months for social activities and education, interviewing for residency can be different. To address this, again this year a group of women orthopaedic surgery residency program directors, working through the Ruth Jackson Orthopaedic Society and the American Medical Women’s Association, will be providing opportunities for medical students who identify as female to discuss with women faculty and residents how to prepare for virtual interviews and how to present yourself and your accomplishments through this medium. The webinar will take place on October 5 at 8pm CT. Registration is free. Thanks so much for your interest in orthopaedic surgery! We look forward to meeting you soon.
