Hi,
Im currently an MS3 who wants ortho residency. Im posting because I am debating between taking a year off for research in ortho (between my third and fourth year) or completing my fourth year without taking my year off. I have no current research and my numbers are:
Step 1: 207
Third year: All Honors and HP
I have various volunteer works
I still don't know what to do... My second option is PM&R but I don't want to apply to PM&R without trying ortho!. I have connections in some ortho programs but I don't want to rely on that. I am planning to ace step 2.
Any suggestions are appreciated! Thank You
PS. I currently have 4 orthopedics who I know are going to give me good letters
