Introducing our March Medical Student Member of the Month, Cameron Julia Gerhold, BS!
She became interested in orthopaedics as it “is the perfect combination of hands-on work, problem solving, and the ability to make drastic improvements in patients' lives.”
As a student pursuing orthopaedic surgery at Florida State University College of Medicine, she was motivated to join by a combination of personal ambition, educational opportunity, and the desire to be part of an incredible community dedicated to advancing the field and providing optimal patient care.
In her spare time, she enjoys planning hiking trips with her dad, weightlifting, listening to country music, exploring new restaurants, and spending time with her dogs.
