   Proximal humerus fracture positioning

   WhoDatWhoDare replied to jennpayne20's topic in Operating Room

   Preceptor Refusal

   WhoDatWhoDare replied to LJOHRrn's topic in Operating Room

   Glasses with masks

   WhoDatWhoDare replied to 2cooldeans's topic in Operating Room

    Operating Room job offer - Santa Clara, Bakersfield or Las Vegas

    WhoDatWhoDare replied to skippyspamgarlic's topic in Operating Room

    I'm guessing they didn't call you out of the blue to make a stranger an offer, but rather you applied to each location after doing some research on them. What factors did you use to select these locations to form your decision to apply to them in the...
