Why UC Davis Orthopaedic Surgery?      
When I rotated at Davis last summer, I had a great experience. The volume and complexity of cases on different services and the teaching from attendings and residents stood out to me. I really appreciated the camaraderie among residents and the supportive nature of the program. As an Air Force resident, I get the opportunity to practice both civilian and military medicine and understand both patient populations and the differences among them. I knew this program would give me the skills needed to become very skilled in medical decision-making and operating while surrounded by people encouraging my success.
