Orthopaedic Surgery Interest Group

The Orthopaedic Surgery Interest Group (OSIG) at UCLA is designed for students who are interested in learning more about a career in orthopaedics. Over the course of the academic year, specially selected speakers will address a number of important issues including

• What an orthopaedic surgeon does
• What a career as an orthopaedist entails
• The different sub-specialities that one could ultimately pursue
• The qualities/experiences that make a competitive applicant

Additionally, various research, volunteer, and shadowing opportunities will be offered to interested members. Students who are considering a career in orthopaedics, as well as those who are simply curious about this often misunderstood
field, are invited to join.
