US MD M4 here, applied ortho and did 5 ortho sub-is and then another rough 2 week ortho rotation. It was grueling, I only really enjoyed 1 or 2 of the 5 sub-is. I hated the hours and got completely burnt out by the end of the 3rd one. I've contemplated switching specialties for over a year but...

I have an unusual scenario and would love some advice. I applied ortho but didn’t match so I SOAPed into IM categorical and just started my PGY-1 year. I chose IM during the SOAP vs a surgical prelim or gen surg because I didn’t think that a prelim would increase my ortho odds given my scores...

Hi all - I need some guidance. I got my my score report last week, 241. I’m pleased, definitely glad the weeks I spent punishing myself weren’t for nothing. To make a long story short - I’m interested in ortho but I’m not entirely sure how realistic this goal is with a score so far below the...

Hey guys and gals, this is my first post on SDN but I've been lurking the forum for nearly 10 years now. Over that time period I've fallen off the path to medicine, worked in finance (mainly mortgage banking) and headed straight back to medicine after I realized that I don't care much for...

Hi SDN- I've shadowed a few different specialties throughout high school, and I'm fully convinced that orthopedic surgery is right for me as a specialty. I've read that these specialties are super competitive and require the right connections to get into. This makes me really worried if...

Hello there! I'm going to be an M1 at U of Missouri this coming fall and I was wondering if it is easier to match into a competitive residency program at your home institution. Specifically, I'd love to go into orthopedics (I know just about every dude college athlete thinks this but I've loved...
