What is it about orthopedic surgery and dermatology that you find so appealing?

Can we institute a policy where anyone who asks this is promptly given an IP ban?

You will likely need research experience to match into these.

Seeing as your research skills are piss poor, I would say looking into another specialty might be better for you.

No.

I changed my SDN profile already because after graduation I dont plan on being sober enough to type for at least a week.

SORRY I DONT have ALL day to post and look through every thread on SDN. I thought that maybe I could get a faster answer if I asked here, but of course a loser that really doesn't have a life and spends all his time online, like yourself, really doesn't know how busy other people are.

HAVE A NICE DAY

In the time it took you to post this assinine response you could have googled your answer and you would have found the American Osteopathic Board of Orthopedic Surgery and the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology.

But I'M the dumb one. 🙄

I can understand that.....enjoy it..... 😀
 
I always find it interesting that a number of pre-meds have this yearning desire to go into orthopedics, ophthalmology, dermatology, plastics, etc. Why might that be? (insert emoticon with a ******* expression).

When do you have to report for residency? You might need to recruit some of us SDNer's to wheelbarrow you down to your orientation.

And none of them understand anything about the field. They just came across a website that showed physician salaries and saw these near the top.

I will gladly take volunteers to roll my drunk ass over so I dont aspirate.

Exactly.

And if by "volunteers" you mean paid employees at the bargain price of $150/hr., I'll hop on a plane first thing.

Hope you enjoyed your short time here on SDN
 
Check out the residency subforums; questions like these are asked quite frequently. You'll see that DOs do get into derm and ortho if they have good step scores/research/great LORs/etc.; basically all the things the allo grads need.

Why does everyone think i wanna do ortho because the money? I wanna do it so i can do sports med and my orthopedic surgeon is the reason i want to become a doctor.
 
Is it not possible for a pre-med to have a preliminary interest in a couple of different fields that happen to be well-compensated? (And no, I'm not being sarcastic)

I mean, the OP probably is drawn to them a bit because of the money, but he doesn't seem all that naive and idealistic to the whole process. At least it's not a "How much does a DO derm make?" or "How many hours does a derm/ortho work per week?"

I know what you mean. It's amusing because everyone always assumes if a premed shows interest in a competitive field they are automatically greedy. I could see how orthopedic surgery could be very interesting to someone, regardless of compensation. I happen to find dermatology interesting, although of course planning what specialty to go into at this point in my academic career would be ridiculous.
