Literature has argued for the ‘surgical personality’. Characteristics of ‘successful’ orthopaedic surgeons have also been published. The aim of the study is to explore which factors influence career choice of trauma and orthopaedics (T&O) in medical students, and whether certain personalities are drawn to T&O.

Methods

The survey required participants to complete the 16 personalities test. The survey explored which factors drew delegates to T&O.
