I have learned a lot regarding my research topic and community-based interest for my summer experience. When I first came up with my topic of understanding why women are underrepresented in the orthopedic field, I was very narrow headed and did not consider the in-depth reasons for why this is true. Through my research so far, I have come to learn that there is a lot to consider physically and even psychotically when it comes to understanding why this is true.
