Accounts, Volume III
This volume contains essays written by the storyteller herself rather than by the editor, following an interview, as was done in the previous volumes.
Here are the guidelines:
- Choose to write about one experience from your training or professional life be it positive, negative, inspirational, career altering, etc., or an orthopaedic cultural issue you feel passionate about.
- Describe the topic in detail and how you feel/felt about it.
- Note what you learned and how it may influence others.
- Include no names of people, places, training programs or professional practices.
- Write it in less than 1000 words
Please send your account or questions to the editor at zillmer.debra@gmail.com.
