The idea behind this blog is to provide advice on aspects related to residency training. Sadly, this may not be the case with many programs and most fresh residents are confused where to start and which direction to head in. It helps a lot if your residency program is well structured and residents in each year of training know what exactly their learning goals are. And in every batch of fresh orthopaedics residents, there is at least one person who thinks ‘Oh my God! I’ve made a terrible mistake choosing orthopaedics!’ There are others who try to fervently mug up every single textbook that they come across. Some go into a state of shock and denial and are just too dazed to start reading. Like crazed lovers, different first year residents try different methods to cope with the situation. It’s like chasing the girl of your dreams for a long time only to realize that she isn’t what she seems. It’s not what it seems! Orthopaedics can come across as a total stranger to most first year residents. You feel dizzy and light-headed and friends and family can barely keep you from floating up on cloud number nine!Īnd then the stark reality hits you like a brick wall. Against all odds and the seemingly insurmountable competition out there, you’ve managed to land yourselves the residency position that you’ve always wanted.
