Dr. Corenman,
My name is SC. I am a chiropractor in NJ and I will be starting medical school this fall at SUNY Upstate in New York. My goal is orthopedic surgery.
As an accomplished surgeon and chiropractor, I felt compelled to reach out to you and introduce myself. I realize that you must be extremely busy but if you could find the time to answer a few questions I would really appreciate it.
I am curious to know what your opinion is on the surgical field and what advice you would have for a new medical student such as myself. Did you find that your chiropractic education and clinical experiences helped you in medical school? If so, in what ways? Is there anything you would do differently if you were in my shoes starting this new journey? Is there any other advice you would give to someone hoping to secure a surgical residency position in the further?
Thank you so much for you time. I hope we can stay in touch. There doesn’t seem to be many chiropractors who have made the change to surgeon or at least I haven’t found many. I really look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Salvatore
