Why UC Davis Orthopaedic Surgery?
I worked with two traumatologist at an outside hospital who happened to be alumni of the UC Davis residency program. They were incredibly skilled in providing orthopaedic care for complex pelvis and acetabulum fractures and were great teachers. My only experience with UC Davis was during the virtual interview, which was incredible. There was a strong focus on developing the residents to be strong operatively and confident in managing a broad range of orthopaedic injuries. Additionally, the program had exciting developments in surgical innovation.
