I'm a 3rd year trying to decide a few electives - one of which will be ortho surg. However, what does everyone suggest for other electives that would make me a better ortho-candidate? Or, should I just cram as much ortho as possible? Was considering sports med, gen surg, endocrinology, etc as topics that would help me become a more well-rounded applicant. Thanks for any help

Some to consider:

Radiology (best if there's MSK exposure, though much of the stuff can be helpful on your gen surg year)
Rheumatology (usually chill, lots of joint issues)
Infectious Diseases

Trauma ICU if your institution is a level one trauma center. You will certainly participate in the care of many ortho patients there and may be able to lend a hand every once in awhile to the ortho team during that month.

If you can do dedicated msk radiology that is definitely helpful.
