Hi,
I am soon to graduate. I got matched into an ACGME FM program. I am currently doing an Orthopedics rotation and I feel a bit uneasy because so far they have not let me do any joint injections or splinting/casting. I have done shoulder and knee injections in my FM rotation and was hoping to get more exposure to it in this rotation. Just curious to know what kind of Orthopedics rotations you has as a med student.

Just do an ortho rotation as a resident or rotate with a gung ho FM who does injections. You will get plenty of opportunity in residency.
