Why UC Davis Orthopaedic Surgery?      
I chose UC Davis because of the people. As a medical student, I saw the support and close relationships amongst not only the residents but also the faculty. I also chose UC Davis for the well-rounded surgical training. From the robust adult and pediatric trauma experience to the oncology experience only seen at quaternary care centers, I felt confident that I would be well prepared for fellowship and my career.
