- So You Want to Become an Orthopaedic Surgeon. Here's how you can decide of orthopedic surgery is a good field for you, how to become an orthopod, and some of the lesser known truths of being an orthopedic surgeon.
Orthopedic surgery is a popular and respected surgical subspecialty within medicine. Orthopedics focuses on the surgical management of musculoskeletal conditions, from skeletal deformities to fractures and even occasionally nerve and vascular injuries. To become an orthopedic surgeon, you first need to complete medical school and earn either your MD (allopathic) or DO (osteopathic). After that, orthopaedic surgery residency is 5 years, although some programs have a mandatory research year, bringing the total to 6 years. It's a highly competitive surgical subspecialty, consistently ranking in the top 5 in terms of competitiveness, behind dermatology, plastic surgery, and neurosurgery. Compensation is in the top 3 of all specialties, averaging roughly $515,000 per year. Note that compensation, lifestyle, and type of work will all vary based on the area of orthopedics you practice. An optional fellowship allows you to further hone your expertise in pediatrics, spine, hand, foot & ankle, tumor, sports, joints, and more.

How did u prepare for the mcat
Congrats! I’m also starting med school in the fall. Woo!
Have you graduated from medical school yet?
I wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon but accidentally clicked ophthalmic surgeon on the application, now I’m an ophthalmologist- oh well ;)
Hahah😂😂😂
Oof
😂you could have reapplied
There are no accidents...
Good 😂😂😂😂
Don’t knock it till you try it ladies! I’m an orthopaedics resident and this was the best decision of my life! I’ve had to deal with my share of doubters throughout the way, but I worked my butt off throughout my journey to receive my D.O. and match into my dream specialty at a dream ACGME program. We need more female orthopods out here!
Here iam a female Orthopaedic...how can I reach you?
I’ve wanted this since 11th grade! Just finished my first year of college. You will see me out there no doubt
Hey I’m a rising OMS-I, and I’m super interested to know how you navigated the research landscape to secure a spot in an orthopedic residency. Any suggestions?
I’m currently in 11th grade and I want to go in this career path but I don’t know how to go about it can you give me a few pointers (I’m Canadian if that changes anything)
Wait! You are a DO!? Do you think it was more challenging to match as a DO. I heard that it was
Orthopedic surgeons are some of the biggest bosses in medicine 💪
Yeah , the doctor with most work load 😎
Anesthetists are important
@@rudra20048i know but the salary id kinda💀
@@marlonteachings3855 kinda 💀? Bro it’s 400k
@@rudra20048I had a CRNA give me a pain ball and put me to sleep for my total knee replacement surgery. I didn’t even know they were allowed to do the latter and thought that was an anesthesiologists job! An MD anesthesiologist put me under for a 30 minute colonoscopy a year before, but a CRNA was allowed to put me under general anesthesia? They earn about the same money as a pediatrician or general practitioner, but still….
Okay it's 11 pm now, I should slee-
Med school Insiders: So you wanna be a orthope-
*Say no more*
You dude type ?
Orthopaedic surgery is the surgery of patience , perfection, proper usage of the skills and the team .... It's a privilege to be an orthopaedic surgeon . I am glad I pursued my dream and after 5 years in it I don't regret my decision .. moreover I am falling in love with it even more ..!!
As a NON US IMG (brazilian) I don't have much hope to become an orthopedic surgeon but I'll try...searching for a good research fellowship to start the journey...any advice?
As a 15 year old watching this after injuring my knee 2x I want to consider becoming as a orthopedic surgeon so I can help other people.
Same bro same
Samee
Please do a so you want to be for anesthesiologists
I've been waiting since December ! I hope it's out soon
Ifrah xassan yes!
Owen Coxall I’m very interested in that
Yes , please.
yess 3:
Just 12 years old and watching this video gives me a view of my dream profession
orthopedic surgery is the light of my life , yet I was told to not doing it because I am a women and I don't have enough power (153 cm / 53 kg ) , I enjoyed yet as a medical student , I entered the OR , Heloed the doctors there even worked at the emergencies with them ... now I really obssesed with the OTR ! And with the general medecine too , still 3 years to deal with in the faculty but I dont think I will change my mind I LOVE ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY
Ma'am, could you please kindly let me know whether orthopaedic surgery has enormous exposure for radiation? My partner is going to do orthopaedics and I'm worrying about it a lot
please do a “So You Want To Be A Pediatric Surgeon” because i want to become one and there’s not much info on it
adrian you might still want to consider ortho. There is very large part of unique pediatric procedures, and a ortho-ped fellow will have a very specialized and complex skillset. General surgery has also a lot of pediatric scope.
yeah I need this 💯
You do a general surgery residency and then a pediatric fellowship
As someone applying to ortho this year I learned a lot from this video and it made me happy I’m choosing this specialty, thank you Dr. J!
“So you want to be an Anesthesiologist.”
Please do for anesthesiologist
Sameen Zafer please
I feel as if a lot of people don’t know about sports medicine - I shadowed a sports med doc and it was a great learning opportunity. I had no idea you could be “ortho” without the surgery. I’ve watched a couple of ortho-related surgeries in the past as well. I completely agree with the “what you’d love/no love about ortho” section of the video with what I have experienced. Also enjoyed the radiology component of it all.
Going into my first year of college as a premed. Hopefully I’ll be able to look back on this video in a few years and say “this is where it all started”
i'm fifteen, mom is a doctor, hospitalist, and i wanna be an orthopedic surgeon when i grow up
@@Joe-ou1iw Same but I will be 17 soon and I want to be an ortho-ped surgeon.
How is it going now
@@hi-mj5oistatistically got fked by gen chem and quit
13:33 I only hand shake, the reason is if you readjust your grip to face up (the bro handshake) you can quickly go to arm wrestle.
Request: So you want to be a RADIOLOGIST?
*interventional radiology (IR!)
Diagnostic Radiology too!
IR is stupidly competitive, I wish you the best of luck !!
Adam Pecoraro thank you!
Yes I want to know too
Being an othopidic surgeon is my dream I can’t believe you posted this video I have been wanting this video since the first so you want to be video THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!
I'm a fifth-year Med school student, I wanted to be an Orthopedic Surgeon and this really helps ! Thanks so much !
I've been waiting for this video for a while now, great stuff! As a US IMG, I sometimes lose hope in matching in orthopedics but this made me feel optimistic, thank you Kevin
How did that go?
This coming school year I’m going to be a Chemistry Major with a premed track and in a few years I will get to look back to these videos as resources that helped me get into and achieve great things in med school
I must say, your description is quite accurate! you video will be helpful to med students who have yet to decide their specialization. great work! - willo, ortho spine surgeon from Manila
I walked into med school wanting to do ortho. This vid has helped motivate me to get out of my slump studying for step 1 with all the covid stuff going on and uncertainty with prometric. Thanks Doc.
Hey puddle puddle im 16 and wanting to be an ortho surgeon hopefully someday. Is their any early tips you can give me that could help.
@@nolanchrisman2034 I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to be when I was in HS and most of college. I didn't decide on medicine until I did some shadowing of different specialties and getting a part time job in healthcare. Other than doing well in school I would reccomend shadowing different specialties and exploring if medicine is right for you.
Also as you get older when it comes to school be adaptable in your learning. What works in HS might work in college but will not work in med school. I know a lot of people that didnt really need to study to do well in HS/college then failed their first few tests in med school. Recognize when something isnt working and focus on fixing it.
Other than that shadow, volunteer, good grades/mcat then excellent grades and board scores in med schools will land you in ortho. Basically what medschool insiders says. This channel helped me as an undergrad a lot. goodluck !
Please do a “so you want to be an Anesthesiologist”
Thank you
Orthopaedic surgery involves repositioning bones such as knock knees, bent ankles, and many others. The musculoskeletal system is the primary emphasis of this procedure. This includes surgeries involving tendons, ligaments, and occasionally nerve or vascular operations in addition to fractures, or fractured bones.
Thanks Kevin.
Have been waiting for this one!!
And it has helped with perspective, so thanks again.
Aaaaaa, been waiting for this! Thanks for coming through. All the best. =)
In the Clinical Medical Assistant classes one of the organ systems I enjoyed the most it was musculoskeletal system, neuro and cardio. I know it is not at the same level of training than Med school BUT is so fascinating. At 37 I am back to college to go to Med School and all this is like going back to my teenager years. Don’t give up kids! We can do this! ♾♥️
Got Two years of High School left and i cant wait to go to be a orthopedic surgeon and this motivated me to keep working on it
I've been waiting on this video!!! Finally here. Thanks for the video.
Finally! Thanky you, never clicked faster on a video
Thank you for this, I’ve been waiting on third since I want to become an orthopedic surgeon & specialize in Sports Medicine.
Not a doctor or even work in the medical field. But I have metastatic bone disease from stage 4 Renal Cell Carcinoma. I absolutely love my orthopedic oncologist that is working very closely with my medical oncologist and radiation oncologist to saved my live and allow me to have a great quality of life as well. If I could go back 20 years and re do things, definitely med school and ortho.
To all the orthopedic surgeons, and especially the ortho oncologist, thank you!
Junior in high school while binge watching your videos is a good vibe. This is quite scary to think about though with adding the competitive factors, the man vs woman ratio and things in that realm.
Finally.. Thank you!!
To be accurate, this is the PCL at 9:55
😊
Awesome video! It's a tough field but very rewarding
I had an open surgery to my humerus about 2 months ago in Australia and I’ve been to the hospital so many times that I’m just obsessed with this stuff now
so far this is the best video in "so u want to be" I might be biased because I like ortho thank you very much!
an episode of so you want to be an obstetrician-gynecologist !!
Yes!
So You Want To Be An Anesthesiologist!
Can you give us an idea on when it'll be out so we don't have to keep asking ? Thank you Dr!
Thank you so much. I have been waiting for this video!
My brother was hit by a car and an orthopedic surgeon made the whole thing a lot better for him, he’s back to his old self, because of that surgeon. I’m inspired c:
Great video! So you want to be an otolaryngologists (ENT surgeon) next!!
I really want to be an orthopedic surgeon! I’m so excited to be in med school soon!
I’ve been waiting on this video for a month and it did not disappoint❤️.
This helped a ton especially to me. Thnx a lot.
Yes I love the Idea of fixing broken bones! Great video and outlook!
Helloo
I am 100% becoming an Orthopaedic Surgeon. Gona smash those exams hard.
Hi, everybody ✋I am orthopedic surgeon from Moscow, it s great job 👌
YES I've been waiting for this video!!
Please do a “so you want to be a Paediatric surgeon” on this channel and “day in the life of a Paediatric surgeon” on your other channel please.
At first I was into dentistry, but the debt deterred me. Orthopedic sports medicine is so alluring to me. Hopefully in the near future I can go after that career.
If you don't like debt, medical school might not be for you.
I have been waiting for this one for so long.
There is not a better profession on the planet. Was privileged to have become one and have NO regrets. You can be human and make a difference everyday. From babies to geriatrics. Every body part can be fixed. The science and technology is awesome. Outcomes can be spectacular. You can travel the world and be welcomed as a colleague. You make such a difference in so many peoples lives. Pay is a special reward but i would have done it for almost nothing. Always open for questions......
I was a orthopedic tech in the army just got out and I was in awe with what the doctors did how they interacted with the patients I really want to become a orthopedic surgeon sports and pediatrics sub specialty it’s super intimidating trying to go back to school but I want to do it
Did you?
Please do Psychiatry next time! Mental health is an amazingly exciting career to go into and I'd really love if more people knew about it!
I'm 13 an already thinking about wanting to become and orthopedic surgeon because they have helped me pretty much my whole life
Please do an episode about an infectionist, it really important specialty in times like this...
Please do a so you want to be for Urologist! 🙏
I loved this video! Thank you soo much. As a woman, a teenager and an African American becoming a sport Medical Doctor is a huge dream of mine, and this video gave me so much more knowledge on the subject. Can you do a video on Sports Medical Doctors? ones who don't perform surgery. Thank you again, God, bless.
Lol ok
@@mustang8206 what.
My orthopedic surgeon is one of the best and highest rated in Alaska. My knee replacement went well and 9 months later ready to ski again. But as for his personality, he’s very self-contained and if you’re an outgoing person or someone that needs reassurance and a lot of communication, he’s not that type. He doesn’t waste time with small talk or chit chat.
Thank you so much for this video. It really helped put things in perspective for me.
I would like to see “So you want to be a...”
-pathologist/forensic pathologist
-family doctor/GP
Thank you :)
Please Please Please can you do 'so you want to be a pediatrician?' or something similar PLEASEEE😊😊😊😊
YES! Please make a video about this!
Well this is arguably the most anticipated video of the year thus far. Just commenting before it gets 10k likes :)
Cool video, thanks. My husband is in the middle of finishing a shoulder/arthroscopy fellowship, although he worked for a long time in the ER in his hospital, so he treated lots of different trauma before decided on the shoulder. As for the cliches, although 99% of his colleagues are also males, most aren't gym bros, lol (my husband is super strong though) I'd say most are pretty geeky! They're a bunch of nice, good-hearted guys, for the most part, and proud of the work they do💪
Anesthesiology mentioning interventional pain management
This video is....
*magic baby*
Loved this!! I like this specialty!!
Great videos, I love this playlist! Next one, Rheumatology please!!!!!
Now do anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, and my personal favorite psychiatrists!

According to a study published in 2po8 in BMJ (“the orthopedic surgeon: as strong as an ox and almost half as bright?”) the average British orthopedic surgeon has not only higher grip strength compared to anesthesiologists, but also a significantly higher IQ, leading to their proposal anesthesiologists should find another target for their jokes, lest they want to be met with a particularly hearty handshake.
Is it ever called Brothopedic surgeon?
James B. No, but in german it’s frequently referred to as “orthoblöde”, which roughly means “ortho-stupid”.
Jokes aside (or not), there was a 2008 paper in the british journal of medicine titled “the orthopedic surgeon: as strong as an ox, and almost half as bright?” that found, after comparative testing, that not only the average orthopedics are stronger than the average anesthesiologists, but also have a significantly higher IQ.
Which is completely true.
Regards, cephir MD, resident in orthopedic and trauma surgery.
As someone who doesn't like to be in the spotlight, i think this field is for me.
YES! THANK YOU!
