Summary

We had some great feedback on the "How to match to Orthopaedic Surgery" episode, so we decided to release a panel from newly matched residents in Orthopaedic Surgery. The panel includes:

Carl Lavediere (McGill [c/r])

Patrick Park (McGill [c/r])

Zachary DeVries (Ottawa [c/r])

Akshdeep Bhatia (U of T [c/r])

Alice Wang (UBC [c/r])

Ajay Shah (McMaster [c], U of T [r])

We discussed how to impress on electives, the highest-yield tips from the CaRMS process, and managing lifestyle during busy electives. The entire panel is condensed into 1 hour for your efficiency. Reach out if you have any questions or want any more information - I've already had some great conversations with rising Ortho keeners.
