I have a question regarding an Orthopaedic residency program that I'm interested in.
Here is a little info about myself:
- 27 y.o.
- finishing my first year at UHS
- 3.80 GPA
- certified radiology technician and ortho.
technician
- research project scheduled to begin this
summer.
My problem is that there is only one spot available each year and I don't want to force my family to keep relocating. I have a 7 year old son and my wife is a full-time nursing student. Is there anything I can do starting now to increase my chances? Should I arrange to meet with the Ortho group in charge of the program and observe their operations over the summer? Should I contact them and ask them what they look for in a potential resident? I know that this is very early in my medical education but I think it is never too soon to start preparing for my future.
Thanks
