How has the AAOS helped you throughout your career?
AAOS has been instrumental in shaping my knowledge and expertise in orthopaedics. The access to high-quality educational resources, webinars, and research articles has allowed me to stay updated on advancements in the field, particularly in arthroplasty and arthroscopy. AAOS has also provided me with a platform to connect with other professionals globally, broadening my network and career opportunities.
As an International Resident Member, which AAOS resources do you use most and why?
I frequently use AAOS's online learning platform, particularly the Journal of the AAOS and the AAOS webinars. These resources offer in-depth knowledge and are easily accessible, allowing me to stay informed about the latest techniques and best practices in orthopaedics.
What’s the best advice you were ever given? Who was it from?
The best advice I received was from my father, Dr. Rajeev Gupta, who once told me, "Always strive to be a lifelong learner in this profession. Medicine evolves every day, and so should you." This advice has stuck with me and keeps me motivated to continue learning.
What’s your go-to productivity trick?
Time blocking is my go-to productivity trick. I allocate specific hours of my day to clinical practice, research, and personal growth. It helps me manage my time effectively and ensures that I stay focused on each task without feeling overwhelmed.
What’s one thing you’re currently trying to make a habit?
I’m working on building a habit of consistent early morning workouts. Physical fitness is essential for both personal well-being and maintaining the stamina required in a demanding profession like ours.
What hobbies do you enjoy in your spare time?
In my spare time, I enjoy trekking and playing cricket. Both activities help me unwind and stay physically active, providing a good balance to my professional life.
Tell us a fun fact about yourself that not many people know?
Not many people know that I’m also a singer! I enjoy singing in my free time—it’s something that helps me relax and clear my mind after a long day at work.
