Who am I?
My name is Adil Shahzad Ahmed. I'm an Orthopaedic Surgeon specializing in Shoulder, Elbow, Hand, and Nerve Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas.
I completed a Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Fellowship at the Sydney Shoulder Research Institute (SSRI) in Sydney, Australia. Previously, I completed a Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery Fellowship at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and did my Residency in Orthopaedic Surgery at The University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. I graduated from Baylor College of Medicine with my M.D. in 2016 and received my undergraduate degree in Biology from Texas Christian University in May 2012.
I strive to live every day based on my favorite Dr. Seuss quote – "don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." Outside of the career world, I like to work out, read about world history, write, and spend time with family and friends. I also enjoy international travel and am always looking for new places to explore.
There’s a lot of resources out there for advice on how to get into Medical School and Residency, so you may be thinking, “what’s so special about this website?” Of all the resources I’ve perused for advice or hints over the years, nothing really showed one person’s entire path from Freshman Year of College, through Medical School, and up to Residency acceptance. It was always small little tidbits here and there, hasty responses in forums that were often incomplete, or questions that were only partially answered. Thus I decided to make a website to help future generations of students, providing them with the knowledge I wish I'd known, in one centralized location.
I hope this website will benefit you, because that is the sole reason why I made it. I wish you the best of luck!!!
If you have questions (or even suggestions for the site) don't hesitate to reach out.
