My mom surprised that I still have 5 years of training after graduation, even after the 11th time I explained what residency is...

My mom’s disappointed that I don’t know where I’m going for residency yet..

"Minority applicants,
but not women,have lower odds of admission into orthopaedic surgery residency,even when accounting for academic performance" We must do better. Thanks @drspoon8 & thank u @MUOrthopaedic for helping me beat the odds! #ILookLikeASurgeon https://t.co/VE4nN3f4QW
