The general surgery forum. There are subspecialty surgical forums, but, unfortunately there aren't enough pediatric surgeons or pedi surg specific questions/topics on SDN to set up a subforum just for pediatric surgery. There are a reasonable number of questions that come up in the surgery forum relative to pedi surg - mostly "what are my chances" type of questions.

Welcome, and, if you haven't lurked around, you might not know what might happen - as OBP said, "What are my chances", and people inundating you with variations on a theme of not doing 5 years of GSx, busting your butt, and applying for PedSx. Then, there are others that say that it's not as competitive as SurgOnc and plastics, and start on that bluster, and so on.
However, you are a valuable resource that can yield rich results.
