"Since I am most interested in working with pediatric patients, the electives I find most interesting are pediatric orthopedic surgery and pediatric musculoskeletal surgical oncology. I feel each of those 4-week electives will give me an excellent start to my career as a pediatric orthopedic surgeon."
