5-Minute Summary: Voices in Orthopaedics™…The Residency Programs: Our Experience: Having a Family During Orthopaedic Surgery Residency

Orthopaedic surgical residency training is a demanding time. It requires discipline, long working hours, and interdependence on your co-residents. Studying, splinting, operating. There’s not much in the way of personal hobbies, free time, or sleep for that matter. The years of training don’t just qualify us for a job, they mold us into surgeons - but is there room to be anything else? Is there room to be both a parent, and an orthopaedic surgical resident?
