Why UC Davis Orthopaedic Surgery?      
As a fourth-year med student, I had the opportunity to rotate at UC Davis. I truly loved how connected the residents were and how positive the culture was in the program. Everyone is there for one another, both in and out of the hospital, and getting the opportunity to work with world-renowned attendings who are incredible mentors was something I had dreamt of being a part of.
