Add Your Story to OrthoCorps
Inspired by StoryCorps and independently organized by JBJS, OrthoCorps is an online audio archive hosted at JBJS.org. Readers of JBJS and members of the wider community—students, residents, clinicians, surgeons, educators, staff, and patients alike—are encouraged to contribute their own stories in the form of single-speaker narratives or informal conversations between colleagues, family, or friends, reflecting on the important moments and people in their lives.
For those interested in contributing to OrthoCorps, several resources are available to help you get started. These include Interview Tips and Examples of Interview Questions to aid in planning and guiding your conversation, and Sound Quality Tips to ensure the best audio quality possible. More information regarding OrthoCorps requirements as well as instructions can be found in the OrthoCorps Submission Guidelines.
