Conversation with Danika Baskar, Future Orthopaedic Surgeon

In this episode, I have a conversation with Danika Baskar, a future Orthopaedic Surgeon, about her Research Fellowship at the Stanford Division of Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery under Dr. Steven Frick. Danika talks about the different research studies focused on congenital clubfoot during her fellowship and how the information from those studies can help clubfoot families in the future. One of those studies focuses on clubfoot within social media platforms, and I was surprised to learn just how large the online presence of clubfoot is today. We also discuss how Danika became passionate about clubfoot and where she sees clubfoot treatment going in the future. We recorded this episode before Danika matched in Orthopaedic Surgery, so a huge congratulations are in order for her. I am thrilled at the knowledge that she will be starting her Orthopaedic Surgery residency training in just a few months and can only hope she will be treating clubfoot in the future.
