Excited to match into Orthopaedic Surgery at Indiana University!! A dream come true!! #Match2024 #orthotwitter

If you think physicians are overpaid, maybe you should take the necessary course work in undergrad, take and pass the MCAT, apply for med schools, pay hundreds of thousands for tuition, learn for 4 years in a very high pressure learning environment, then pay thousands more to apply for a training job that you may or may not get, then if you do get it, you get to work 80 hours a week making $15/hour for 3 - 9 years wherein more than one day off in a row is a rarity, all the while many normal life events and processes get pushed to the side, then you FINALLY get a “real” job that’ll pay very well but you’ll realize your patients are not your customers (the insurance companies are), they are the product, and you’ll realize you have a lot to learn about the business of medicine in order to advocate for your patients and for yourself in order to be okay. Then YOU can say “no thanks I don’t deserve to make that much.” Or you can just skip all of that, realize now that the insurance and hospital system complexes are trying to hoodwink you, and appreciate the life work and care physicians commit to all of us, recognizing that while all things in medicine play a role in what we see today, physicians themselves are not the villain. They are on our side.

DROPPED MY FIRST INTRAMEDULLARY NAIL TODAY!! 🦴🔨

As someone who learns best from video lectures and anki, what are your recommendations for Orthopaedic residency education? #ortho #residency

#WomenInMedicine Erika Daley, MD, didn't have the traditional path to orthopaedic surgery. She started med school to be a pediatrician! Read her story about the journey to orthopaedic surgery and the importance of mentorship: medicine.iu.edu/blogs/women-in…

@DrBrianFeeley Very interesting study! Were the incidence rates between these two cohorts statistically different?

The incidence of lower extremity injury was 1.2 injuries/game for grass and 1.42 injuries/game for artificial turf. The odds of a season-ending surgery were found to be significantly higher on artificial turf compared with grass (odds ratio = 1.60; 95% CI, 1.28-1.99; P < .05),

In the #NFL🏈, Turf or Natural Grass --which is safer? Turns out in recent years grass leads to FEWER serious injuries, fewer surgeries than turf. Read more in our new paper in @OJSM_SportsMed with @DrNiravPandya. journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.11…

Join us tonight at 7 pm EST for our Virtual Open House! #ortho #Match2025 iu.zoom.us/j/87635842323 @IUOrthoSurgery

@HannaSorensen I deferred on 403b because I am prioritizing Roth IRA and do not think I’ll save more than the Roth limit. Not maxing HSA.

Time to pay it forward: If any #ortho #match2025 applicants want a review of their personal statement, DM’s are open!

Dr. Alan Trinh MD 🦴🩺 So grateful to join this profession with some of the best friends I made over the past 4 years! Thank you to all the friends, families and colleagues that helped me get to where I am!

@gbosslet You were a great convocation speaker! Thank you for all your advice for the coming years ahead!

Was honored to attend the IUSM-South Bend convocation last night and honored and surprised to receive the 2024 Gary Fromm award Amazing group of students and a really terrific cohort of faculty

@TylerWillOrtho The practice exams tell you a %chance that you’ll pass. Anything not 100% can cast doubt. I wonder if confidence would be higher if practice exam scores came back.

Not sure there is clear cut data to back this up, but talk to enough med students and you’ll realize this is the case. Also not sure the benefits of P/F are outweighing the unintended consequences IMO

@rkh_md The fresh kicks!! 🤌🏼👟

Find yourself a trauma team that's this cool...

@HannaSorensen Daylight savings making time to Match 1 hour closer!

After reflecting on the experiences that brought me to this moment, I finally submitted my #ERAS application! Let's ride #Match2024

@DrShamwell @olsonplanner Students don’t have much control over tuition costs which can range from $40-100k not including the cost of living (rent, food, transportation) in addition to board exams/materials. There’s not much variability/budgetting to reduce $400K

@olsonplanner i just don’t understand how one would allow such a situation to happen. if it were a friend, i would be interested to hear the budgeting plan over previous 4 years.

MS4: I really want to train to be an excellent physician, though I’ve got $400,000 in debt and $700 in the bank. ERAS: sure, that’ll be $2500. MS4: but I only have $700. ERAS: you’ll figure it out - you’re on the cusp of a real privilege.
