I think it's common for students to enter pod school having an idea of what they *think* they want to focus on as a practitioner (i.e. diabetic reconstruction, wound care, complex rearfoot surgeries, research and academia, pediatric congenital deformities, trauma, sports medicine, etc).
Curious to know how much you changed throughout the entire educational process and what was the biggest influence in this change... your pre-clinical years, rotations, clerkships, a mentor, residency, etc?
Do you think some folks were surprised by either their ability, or inability, to be a great surgeon for instance, and ended up having their mind changed for them due to this fact?
