In this 4th year medical student (MS4) series, we investigate the field of Orthopedic Surgery. Our guest, Dr. Brooke Dickens, shares what led her to pursue this male dominated field and how to make yourself a competitive applicant while staying true to yourself.
Brooke Dickens is a first year orthopedic surgery resident at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Hospital. Originally from California, Brooke has found herself a home throughout the United States. After four years in Cambridge, MA playing soccer for Harvard Women's Soccer and earning her BA in Neurobiology, she spent time doing policy work in DC before moving back to California to teach junior high and coach soccer, and then had a pit stop in Chicago where she graduated from the Loyola Stritch School of Medicine. Brooke is excited to be living and learning in North Carolina alongside her husband, Scotty, who works for the Wake Forest Football team. When not in the hospital, you can find her cheering on the Deacs, taking a long nap, or playing a game of pick-up soccer. She is super excited to become an orthopedic surgeon and would love to be a resource for anyone who wants to reach out!
