I hate flying
Was headed to my former chief’s wedding. @delta asked for volunteers to take a later flight so I said sure
Little did I know that flight was already boarding in a separate terminal. Sprinted and made it there before the door closed… and they shut it on my face

First day at #AANA26 so I had to rock my AANA tie and lapel
Very excited to be here. Looking forward to learning and making new connections, and always a joy to spend some time with my OREF mentor and outgoing AANA president @JohnDKellyIVMD

Excited to share this study led by my co-resident Dan Santana!
We used patient-specific finite element analysis to model acromial stress fractures after rTSA, and were able to predict fracture location but not who would fracture.

It’s been a long time coming. First in my blood line to become a doctor! This NIH study in 2023 states “Mexican women represent a very small fraction of- likely less than 1%- of the total practicing orthopaedic workforce. Viva la raza! We did it. #Match2026 #orthopaedics

Beyond excited to share I matched at UCLA for orthopaedic surgery!!
I’m so grateful to my mentors for helping me navigate this path and to my family for being my inspiration. #match2026

Last year, I didn’t match. It felt like everything collapsed, but it wasn’t the end. Last month, I secured a PGY-2 neurosurgery spot. Same dream, different path.
If you didn’t match yday: you’re still capable. Still deserving. Keep going!

Sorry for the late update. It has been a busy past few days on my end. I unfortunately didn’t end up matching into neurosurgery, but I wholeheartedly accept God’s decision because I know His decision is always what’s best for me.
I am happy to share that I accepted a preliminary one year general surgery position at Penn State University Hershey Medical Center and will try reapplying to neurosurgery this upcoming cycle. Thank you so much to everyone for checking on me and for supporting me throughout the application cycle and during this time.
The grind continues! 🙏🏾

Congrats to everyone who matched today, especially my future ortho colleagues!!
More importantly, to those of you who did not match, this does not define you, keep going and keep the faith. DMs open

The AAOS 2026 Impact Award was presented to Erica D. Taylor, MD, MBA, FAAOS, for demonstrating exceptional leadership in reducing barriers that limit entry into the field of orthopaedics in the U.S.
Congratulations, Dr. Taylor!

Reposting for away application season
If you're a medical student pursuing #ortho, you will almost certainly end up doing #awayrotations...
For M3s, that process is right around the corner!
But for us M4s, aways are over, and now I have nothing but time on my hands 😌
So let's do a thread on away applications 🧵1/
