adrian you might still want to consider ortho. There is very large part of unique pediatric procedures, and a ortho-ped fellow will have a very specialized and complex skillset. General surgery has also a lot of pediatric scope.

Hey puddle puddle im 16 and wanting to be an ortho surgeon hopefully someday. Is their any early tips you can give me that could help.

[@rhui6631]

@@nolanchrisman2034 I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to be when I was in HS and most of college. I didn't decide on medicine until I did some shadowing of different specialties and getting a part time job in healthcare. Other than doing well in school I would reccomend shadowing different specialties and exploring if medicine is right for you. Also as you get older when it comes to school be adaptable in your learning. What works in HS might work in college but will not work in med school. I know a lot of people that didnt really need to study to do well in HS/college then failed their first few tests in med school. Recognize when something isnt working and focus on fixing it. Other than that shadow, volunteer, good grades/mcat then excellent grades and board scores in med schools will land you in ortho. Basically what medschool insiders says. This channel helped me as an undergrad a lot. goodluck !

[@jessicar1152]

I feel as if a lot of people don’t know about sports medicine - I shadowed a sports med doc and it was a great learning opportunity. I had no idea you could be “ortho” without the surgery. I’ve watched a couple of ortho-related surgeries in the past as well. I completely agree with the “what you’d love/no love about ortho” section of the video with what I have experienced. Also enjoyed the radiology component of it all.

I absolutely love my orthopedic oncologist that is working very closely with my medical oncologist and radiation oncologist to saved my live and allow me to have a great quality of life as well. If I could go back 20 years and re do things, definitely med school and ortho. To all the orthopedic surgeons, and especially the ortho oncologist, thank you!

In the Clinical Medical Assistant classes one of the organ systems I enjoyed the most it was musculoskeletal system, neuro and cardio. I know it is not at the same level of training than Med school BUT is so fascinating. At 37 I am back to college to go to Med School and all this is like going back to my teenager years.

My orthopedic surgeon is one of the best and highest rated in Alaska. My knee replacement went well and 9 months later ready to ski again. But as for his personality, he’s very self-contained and if you’re an outgoing person or someone that needs reassurance and a lot of communication, he’s not that type. He doesn’t waste time with small talk or chit chat.

There is not a better profession on the planet. Was privileged to have become one and have NO regrets. You can be human and make a difference everyday. From babies to geriatrics. Every body part can be fixed. The science and technology is awesome. Outcomes can be spectacular. You can travel the world and be welcomed as a colleague. You make such a difference in so many peoples lives. Pay is a special reward but i would have done it for almost nothing. Always open for questions......

I disagree on the foot and ankle section Dr. Jubbal. Doctors of Podiatric Medicine complete 3 years of foot and ankle surgery residency after four years of Podiatric Medical School (which is very similar to the lay out of traditional medical school). They also have further sub-specialization fellowship options post residency. In my experience they are just as qualified for any complex lower extremity procedures.

Is it ever called Brothopedic surgeon?

[@ineinerbank]

James B. No, but in german it’s frequently referred to as “orthoblöde”, which roughly means “ortho-stupid”. Jokes aside (or not), there was a 2008 paper in the british journal of medicine titled “the orthopedic surgeon: as strong as an ox, and almost half as bright?” that found, after comparative testing, that not only the average orthopedics are stronger than the average anesthesiologists, but also have a significantly higher IQ. Which is completely true. Regards, cephir MD, resident in orthopedic and trauma surgery.

According to a study published in 2po8 in BMJ (“the orthopedic surgeon: as strong as an ox and almost half as bright?”) the average British orthopedic surgeon has not only higher grip strength compared to anesthesiologists, but also a significantly higher IQ, leading to their proposal anesthesiologists should find another target for their jokes, lest they want to be met with a particularly hearty handshake.
