There will be people who refuse to sign a prelim-surgery contract next week. I am an American Medical Student who was unsuccessful in the Orthopaedics match. I seek a prelim surgery year that will allow me to complete the PGY-1 Orthopaedics requirements (there are several variations).
I have solid board scores, many publications, and a lot of support from faculty in the orthopaedics world. Please PM me with openings.
Orthopaedics requirements as stated by the ACGME are below. They are very flexible.
6 months: Surgery (multi-system trauma), plastic surgery/burn care, intensive care, and vascular surgery.
3 months: Neurosurgery or Neurology, Pediatric surgery or pediatrics, MSK imaging, anesthesiology, medical/cardiac intensive care, internal med, rheumatology, rehabilitation.
Maximum of 3 months of Orthopaedic surgery.
