“Regardless of where I’m going, I’m doing ortho and that’s all I care about”Jake always had it in the back of his mind that he wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon and med school only solidified that. With an above average Step 1 score, but a below average one for the orthopedic surgery field, he knew it would take some work to achieve his dream. We talk about how he compensated for his Step score and what “snagging” honors mean and why it’s important. He relays his experience of being asked to sing karaoke at one of his residency interviews and finally, how he responded to opening up his match envelope and seeing that he matched where he felt his worst interview had occurred. #Classof2017 #KansasCity
