Some of my non-medical friends have asked what the start of third year is like, and my best analogy is it’s like I’ve been learning a foreign language for two years, and this week I finally moved to the country that speaks it, and there’s so much more to learn than the language

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/
