Advice on Getting An Orthopedic Residency

Here's a bit of advice I got from an Orthopedic Surgeon on what are the important things to consider when trying to get into an orthopedic residency, it's valuable because it speaks to things other than just the typical "get good Step 1 scores, do lots of research etc.":

"I would tell you that scores on tests are important, but that they would a given, that I would expect excellent scores. There is no doubt that a recommendation by a friend known to me would count highly, but a rotation at the program would count the most. That has always been the case. So, if you spend a month at a program and are knowledgeable, tireless, eager, nice but not an obvious brown nose, competent at procedures, first to arrive and the last to leave, can quote articles from JBJS, you will be a shoo-in."
