Mentoring under Dr. Borrow for several
months now, we have had a couple conversations about her education path to becoming
an orthopedic surgeon. She attended the University of Florida for her
undergraduate, followed by the University of Miami for Medical School. She then went on to complete a couple years
of residency and now she is a full-fledged and well respected orthopedic
surgeon. She had not specified her field
of surgery until later in her Medical School years because she was trying to
get a real feel of what most interested her.
I plan on attending the University of Georgia in the fall of 2015 and
where the rest of my schooling takes place, I am unsure. From watching and listening to Dr. Borrow, I
am definitely ready for my path on becoming an orthopedic surgeon.
As a high school student, I am unable to
complete many tasks in a Medical office.
However, I am getting to attentively watch Dr. Borrow and she makes sure
to always keep me aware and involved. I believe surgery is what I look forward
to most. Unfortunately, I listen in on appointments
but do not get to watch Dr. Borrow in the OR, but I hear about many procedures
and she lets me in on some secretes on that as well. The less attractive
features seem to be dealing with the political aspects of paperwork and
insurance regarding workers comp patients.
Often, attorneys are used and delay of procedure is enforced which can
be very troublesome.
