I believe one of the ortho attendings on here said that education (didactics) is just as important as operative experience. Why is that the case? I remember someone on the interview trail (either on here or on orthogate) talking about a program where they operate so much that they don't even have time to read, and that's why they would not be ranking them as highly as other programs with a more balanced approach. What do you guys think?
Also, if your only goal is to become the best surgeon you can be, is conducting a research project and publishing as valuable as more operative volume or case diversity/complexity?
