To the Pre-Health Advising Office, We are writing to invite students at Hunter College interested in pursuing a career in medicine to a program on April 24, 2010 from 8am to 10am at NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases. The program will present general information about a career in orthopaedic surgery in addition to how to prepare once in medical school for residency positions in this competitive field. Students participating in the program will be treated to breakfast prior to hearing presentations from Dr. Kenneth Egol, Chief of the Orthopaedic Trauma Service, Dr. Joseph Zuckerman, Chairman of Orthopaedic Surgery at NYU HJD and Chairman of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and Dr. Toni McLaurin, Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery on various aspects of the preparation process for applying into a residency program in Orthopaedic Surgery. Current residents at different stages of training will be present following the presentations to discuss their experience through the application process as well as to provide insight into the training and daily life of an orthopaedic surgery resident. Students will then be given ample opportunity to ask questions of both the Faculty and House Staff. It is our hope that you will encourage students at your program to attend this event. Our goal is to increase interest in this surgical subspecialty and to encourage students to further their interest by participating in an Orthopaedic Surgery rotation during their clinical years. Please see the attached flier detailing information on the program and feel free to direct any questions you might have to Nicole Montero at 212-598-6460.
