Hi all,

I'm a 3rd year in New york having trouble with deciding what I want to go into. I've done Ob, psych, and medicine. I'm leaning toward surgery, and I'm interested in orthopedic surgery. I got a 254 on my step 1 and have high passed/ honored my rotations so far. However, i have no experience in orthopedic surgery so far. What should I do to maximize my chances of matching? It's a pain but my surgery rotation isnt til the end of the year, so I have to start preparing now. If I started clinical research now, what shot do I have? What else should i do?

Thanks for your help!
