P.S. PLEASE DO NOT POST REPLIES ON THIS THREAD THAT ARE NOT REVIEWS. IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF A PROGRAM REVIEW, PLEASE DM ME AND I CAN TRY AND FIND ONE FOR YOU. THE THREAD SHOULD BE A CATALOG OF REVIEWS ONLY. PLEASE DO NOT HAVE CONVERSATIONS ON THIS THREAD AS IT IS FOR REVIEWS. THANK YOU!
The way osteopathic orthopedics works is that you will primarily get interviews from the programs you audition at, and depending on your application, maybe a few more from programs you did not audition at. That being said, choosing programs to rotate during your limited time is extremely important. Some websites have reviews of orthopedic programs, but the last reviews are from 2008, not applicable anymore, etc, especially after the ACGME-AOA merger. I will ask around to all the students/residents I know that applied orthopedics and try to get a great resource together for those applying in the future.
If anyone here rotated at a program and is willing to provide a review, please either post your review on this thread or, if you want to be anonymous, contact me via DM with the review and I can post it here. If you post a review, please try and include the BOLDED points below. I have added some clarification of some things you could include, but add whatever you would like if it fits! Thank you!
