It was an absolute pleasure and honor to share a room with these superstars, talking about the orthopedics match process. I personally view this panel as my peer mentors and hope that our listeners can gain invaluable insights from their experiences. #orthotwitter #orthoX

It's fitting that @theboneheadpc's first Conversations episode with an orthopedic resident was with Dr. Joshua Bram @jshbram, PGY-4 at @HSpecialSurgery. He's become an inspiration to me of how to conduct quality research during my research year at HSS. #orthoX #orthotwitter
