Why Orthopaedics?
I find it exciting to help patients overcome injury and return to activities they love

Why Robert Wood Johnson?
It's a resident-centered program with large clinical opportunities and great faculty mentorship. At our program, residents take an active role in caring for patients. Attendings respect and value your input. The experience is invaluable and you will graduate with confidence, comfort, and experience that other programs cannot offer you.
