"I decided to pursue a career as an orthopedic technician after taking a basic first aid class while in high school. I discovered I enjoyed splinting and bandaging, and my instructor suggested that a career in orthopedics might be a good choice for me. I researched different orthopedic careers and decided to start as an orthopedic technician before going to school to become an orthopedic physician assistant."
