#SurgTwitter, please join us in welcoming our incoming categorical interns! We are so beyond thrilled to welcome this powerhouse group of women to BCM_Surgery and BCMHouston!

I am still trying to grasp the fact that I’m going to be a surgeon. And a BUCKEYE surgeon at that! Truly overflowing with gratitude for my support system, my mentors, and this journey. Columbus, here we come!!!!

Like many others, I did not match into an orthopedic position this year, but I am willing to take the necessary steps to get there. If you have any advice for a re-applicant going into a general surgery preliminary year or any research opportunities, I'd greatly appreciate it 💗

We are developing an online course for 3rd and 4th year students pursing ortho to allow you to crush it! We are seeking students who would like to try out our course early before we release! DM us! #orthotwitter
