Check out Orthopedic Surgeon! You may meet and help lots of athletes.
Hi Sarah! Thanks for this answer — and I totally agree. Could you edit your answer to give a little more detail about what an orthopedic surgeon does (just in case the student isn’t familiar.) Thanks again!

Hi! If you really want to be a trauma surgeon or an ER doctor, don’t let go of that dream! If you’re worried about finances and such trying to attain this goal, I’d suggest you look into the idea of joining the military. I know that’s not the most exciting idea for everyone, but they pay for your education and give you some great hands on experience. When your contract is up, you’re good to go on the civilian side if that’s what you’d rather do. And you’ll be debt free and earning income the whole time. You’ll also have housing. I’m not going to say it’s the easiest path to take, but you’ll be taken care of. Talk to your local recruiter to weigh your options.
If you’re opposed to this idea, or maybe the finances aren’t the reason you’re asking this question, your other answer is pretty helpful too!

Dear Carolina,
I would recommend being a Physician Anesthesiologist as they play a key role before a surgery. They are medical doctors just like your primary care physician and surgeon. They specialize in anesthesia care, pain management, and critical care medicine. Physician Anesthesiologist have the necessary knowledge to understand and treat the entire human body.
Hope this helps :)
