Hi there) I need some your advice and hope won't ignore me. I am an IMG. I am going to apply for Ortho in 2018. Now I try to find observership/externship but it is difficult to get some for IMG. Could you give me some tips how to do it? Is it helpful to contact directly to most prominent orthopedic surgeons, directors of the programs etc.?
Thank you very much for help!
And congratulate all women with International Women's Day!

There is a really good Ortho observership/externship in Atlanta with a well known orthopedic surgeon.
Contact: LakeMonaco for more info.

What is your YOG, Step1 score, any publications? I'm applying 2018 or 2019 also, but dont think I'll have a chance at ortho.
Univ. of Louiville (Kleinert) has a Hand fellowship program that is used to training international fellows, maybe you could find something there.

Wow, thats a lot of pubs. I will apply IM because its a lot more realistic and Id like to go straight to residency after medical school. I would rather do IM than start ortho residency in home country. I think you really have the credentials to make it, just push for some US contacts and you can do it.
