Is HSS just for the superstars, or us mortals have a shot at it? scott Unregistered User (4/28/00 6:12:45 am) Reply why hss?? while a great place to practice, have surgery or do a fellowship, its probably less than idea for residency. go somewhere without fellows, where the residents get to do alot. go there for your fellowship once you prove you are a star. orthopod Unregistered User (5/12/00 12:00:03 pm) Reply hss HSS isnt all that brother. first, you wear medical student coats if you can believe it. second there is absolutely no trauma at all which is hilarious for an ortho program. i think its a great place to be a patient or even fellow but not a resident. their pretention is not justified.

Considering the comments in this post, is it really worth it? are there any other programs where doing an elective can boost my app? thanks, Jose cbc16 Unregistered User (5/13/00 6:31:24 pm) Reply Sour Grapes?

HSS? Why it's that sound that an overinflated ego makes when it loses air. Actually, HSS stands for Hospital for Special Surgery. It's Cornell's program and it's located in the heart of New York City (535 E. 70th St., New York, NY 10021).
