He plans to remain involved with global Orthopaedics going forward, including during my residency research year.

Sravya Challa, MD
Sravya grew up in Hyderabad, India and moved to Nevada in High School. Sravya became interested in orthopaedic trauma while working in the ER as a college student and started working in the bone physiology lab at UCSD to study Acute Compartment Syndrome. When she got the opportunity to combine her goals for global health and orthopaedics through a research year at Institute for Global Orthopaedics & Traumatology, she took time off between third and fourth years of medical school to pursue a year that has been a monumental milestone in finding what she wants to do with a career in orthopaedics. Sravya hopes to continue research in LMICs as an academic orthopaedic surgeon in the future.
