February was Orthopaedic Surgery month. I had confirmed in January how much I like surgery with General Surgery, and this past rotation verified that ortho is what I want to do with my life. I was sort of bummed I didn't get to see a wider variety of cases, but I know knees and to a lesser extent shoulders pretty well since those are the areas my preceptor focused on. I'm still leaning toward Orthopaedic Trauma, hoping to add Pediatrics and Hand at some point, but that's partly because I like the title "Orthopaedic Pediatric Hand Trauma Surgeon." In any case, I've just started Pediatrics for March, and I've liked the first few days a lot more than I expected to, so I think doing a Pediatric fellowship somewhere down the road would be something I would enjoy a lot. March is already another busy month, but I wanted to get out a quick update.
