Repping UMKC Orthopaedic Surgery Interest Group

OSIG members. I wanted to make you aware of an opportunity for medical students of all years. I would contact them directly on their "Contact Us" page if you have questions specific to the UMKC program since our medical school is non-traditional. This organization is designed to get women and ethnic minorities involved in orthopaedics, however don't let this discourage you from applying if you don't fall into one of those categories. Apps are due January 16, 2015. ... Additionally if you scroll down the page, they are offering housing grants to attend the 2015 AAOS conference which has a Medical Student Symposium (yes actually targeted at medical students) put on by Nth Dimensions. The AAOS meeting is an excellent place to network and learn about the world of Ortho outside of the hospitals you may visit in medical school. Over 15,000 surgeons were in attendance last year. The deadline is December 31st, and you must have your registration fee ($150) and flights($200+) already paid for. Student travel funds are not approved for individual interest groups to give out; it is a separate part of the finance office and requires special individual applications. However, there are several members of OSIG familiar with this process. Contact Sadie if you are interested. The deadline for the housing grant is Dec 31st. http://www.nthdimensions.org/apply-now
