After Match Day, orthopedic surgery is finally open to every kind of surgeon

When you open your Match Day envelope, you step into an orthopedic surgery field that looks nothing like it used to. John E. Klibanoff, an orthopedic surgeon, discusses his article "Navigating your orthopedic surgery residency after Match Day," published on KevinMD. He explains why nobody will care about your physiology grade or your rotation honors once you start residency, and why the old archetype of the tall, athletic, Northeast-raised orthopedic surgeon no longer describes the field. You will hear how AI and short online snippets have collapsed a week of attending-to-attending research into thirty minutes over coffee, how impaction devices and minimally invasive tools have opened recon and spine surgery to surgeons of any stature, and why younger faculty and peer networks are replacing top-down lectures. Klibanoff also explains why mentorship and adaptability matter more than competitiveness, and why patients now arrive with hours of their own research to bring into the room.
