Tell us about a day in the life of an orthopedic surgery resident.

Every specialty will have a slightly different day in the life of a resident. The interviewers want to see that you have done your homework and understand your daily life as an orthopedic surgery resident. Some programs describe what a resident's day looks like on their website. If the program you applied to does not have that information, speak with former or current fellows and residents or visit the university or medical center and talk to staff. You should understand what your day entails before starting the program so there are no surprises.
