What Does it Take to Match Into Orthopedic Surgery? (vs. Internal Medicine)

This video is all about the insights into the Orthopedic Surgery residency. It provides insights into the average USMLE scores for all Orthopedic Surgery residents that started in 2020-2021.

To start, recall that orthopedic surgery is defined as the branch of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic surgeons use both surgical and nonsurgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, spine diseases, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders.

I start with the breakdown of Orthopedic Surgery residents; what percent of them at IMGs? What percent are MDs and what percent are DOs? From there, I go into the average USMLE STEP1 scores and STEP2CK scores broken down in a detailed table. And after that, I break things down by percentiles. Throughout each of these steps, I compare these statistics to what is seen with internal medicine residents.

Source: The Report on Residents examines unique trends among states, specialties, and phases of the GME continuum. The tables and the selected findings below are organized by progression through GME to reflect the different ways that people use the data. For example, current medical students looking to apply to residency programs may be interested in the test scores and experiences of first-year residents in various specialties. Alternatively, state policy analysts focusing on workforce or funding issues may be concerned with retaining physicians who completed residency training in a particular state.

Another question that is commonly asked:

What is the average salary for an Orthopedic Surgeon? (Source: https://www.salary.com/research/salar...)

"The average Orthopedic Surgeon salary in the United States is $505,980 as of January 27, 2022, but the range typically falls between $397,800 and $654,570."

Does Publishing Articles Help You Match?

"For medical students and residents, publishing research articles can provide a uniquely rewarding educational experience. Medical students can publish articles to add to their residency application and become more competitive applicants. Residents can publish articles to meet the training requirements of their program and to bolster their fellowship applications, particularly when preparing for academic positions. In this article, we will discuss 5 ways in which publishing articles can help medical trainees by: 1) strengthening applications, 2) satisfying residency program requirements, 3) increasing personal medical knowledge, 4) providing easier access to future research opportunities, and 5) offering a sense of personal achievement."
