Hey all,
This is my first time on the forum...I'm just starting my first year of med school at case. I'm really interested in ortho but i know its really competitive...so im trying to get an idea of whats imp. to make myself competitive. Here's what i was told would help,
M.S. Applied Anatomy
Early step 1 prep (i.e. start getting down some of the basic pharm/micro lists down now)
Research (the way our cirriculum is set up we have about 6 1/2 months we can devote to research)
Getting good recs from people hi up in the field
doing well on rotations.
I would really appreciate any feedback people could offer....i.e. preparing for boards etc.
Thanks
