From the moment I decided that I wanted to be an Orthopaedic Surgeon, way back in my final years of medical school, there was absolutely noone and nothing that could tell me otherwise. And rightfully so as I embarked on my internship and residency and now practice, the universe and all energies therein aligned in such a way that my passion and zeal for the field has never wavered despite the usual life ups and downs, challenges, doubts, fears and what not.
I appreciate the space and message that IODA has created whereby anyone regardless of race, gender, identity etc for as long as they have an interest and heart for the practice of Ortho can and are encouraged to be a part of it. I am honored to be a part of this vision too.
