Description

Designed specifically for medical students pursuing orthopaedic surgery, this timely webinar—hosted by the AAOS Resident Assembly Career Development Committee—brings together a panel of residents and mentors to demystify the evolving residency application landscape.

Panelists will break down key updates to ERAS for the 2027 application cycle, including the shift from traditional “Publications” to the new “Scholarly Work” section, and what this means for how applicants present research, projects, and academic contributions. Beyond the application itself, the discussion will dive into practical networking strategies, how to make meaningful connections with prospective programs, and how to leverage conferences and professional events as you prepare for away rotations and the Match.

Whether you’re early in medical school or actively planning your application strategy, this session will offer clear guidance, real-world insights, and actionable advice to help you stand out.
