The Education Required For An MD Orthopedic Career

By Jeannie Chapman


A career within a particular medical field is always demanding, but rewarding. If you aspire to be a nurse or even a surgeon, perhaps you are considering taking up an MD orthopedic position. An expert in orthopedics will deal with patients who suffer from muscular and bone issues and deformities, and will tend to broken bones as well. A surgeon will be required to perform relevant surgical procedures.

Nurses, technicians, surgeons and even marketing professionals work within the area of orthopedics, and you can choose the type of career which will best suit your personality. However, each will require several years of education and internship programs so that you can become sufficiently qualified. You will need to pass exams with good grades, and therefore it is best if you are dedicated to the job at hand.

If you become a technician, you will work closely with the surgeons of the hospital, providing assistance with the patients' casts, splints and braces. You will prepare and maintain these articles of equipment, and ensure that they are fitted and removed adequately. You will therefore also be in contact with patients and medical staff. Technicians are required in the orthopedics, casualty and plastic surgery sections of a hospital.

Colleges who train individuals to become technicians require a high school diploma or a GED qualification. They will also check to see if you have acquired adequate grades. It is beneficial if you have done science, maths, physics and similar subjects in high school. You will then take several courses, attend an internship program and be required to successfully pass the NBCOT exam before you can begin work.

Nurses are very valuable staff members in all sections of a hospital, including orthopedics. They will tend to the patients fitted with casts and splints etc. Only registered nurses who have worked for a minimum of 1000 hours may apply to work in the orthopedics section of a hospital. An RN must study and pass the NCLEX exam for registered nurses.

In order to become a surgeon you will really need to be dedicated to your profession. There are a great number of years required for study, and it will be quite costly as well. It is wise to perhaps spend some time with a surgeon to see what the work involves so that you are sure it is what you want. You must also choose a good school to attend, perhaps a school for osteopathic medicine.

Sales representatives, or marketers, do not have to take care of patients, but will rather be selling orthopedic equipment to medical facilities and practitioners. For this a marketing or business degree is needed, as well as sufficient knowledge regarding orthopedics. The marketer will take the equipment from the manufacturer and demonstrate it to the hospital administrators.

A good MD orthopedic nurse, technician or surgeon is dedicated to his or her job, and likes people. They will work hard, but will be well rewarded in terms of salary as well. You can get further information about training from your local colleges.
