Our second ✨Intern Spotlight✨, Avery Schroeder!
Why Mizzou Ortho? I’m a Columbia, MO native and lifelong tiger fan, so Mizzou Ortho has been on my radar for a long time. I was fortunate to spend time with this program throughout my 4 years of medical school here - the resident camaraderie, combination of Level 1 trauma along with a large rural patient population, integrated research opportunities, and the opportunity to work and serve in my hometown make this a #1 program for me.
Columbia Favorites - RB State Park, MKT/Katy trails, Columbia Farmer’s Market, Lakota Coffee, Midway Antique Mall, D. Rowe’s, Angelo’s Pizza & Steakhouse, Shakespeare’s Pizza, Sophia’s
Hobbies/Interests - Time outside with my black lab Scout, Mizzou sports, crochet, antiquing, basketball/volleyball
Subspecialty interests - Pediatrics, Hand, and Sports
Favorite OR music - Country, but I love to switch it up!
Favorite bone 🦴- Femur
