what is callie's job on grey's anatomy
Callie Torres Calliope Iphegenia "Callie" Torres, M.D. is a fictional character from the medical drama television series Grey's Anatomy, which airs on the ABC in the United States. The character was created by series' producer Shonda Rhimes, and is portrayed by Sara Ramirez. She was introduced in season two, as a senior orthopedic resident, as a love interest for intern George O'Malley (T.R. Knight). Eventually becoming an attending orthopedic surgeon, the character was originally contracted to appear on a recurring basis, but received star billing in the third season.
Grey's Anatomy (season 8) This season follows the story-line of Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) as they try to save their marriage and adopt Zola after Meredith tampered with the Alzheimer's trial in the previous season. Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) also struggles to forgive Meredith because Richard Webber (James Pickens, Jr.) takes the blame for Meredith and stepping down, and Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) takes his place as Chief of Surgery. Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) decides to have an abortion, putting her relationship with Hunt at odds. Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) and Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw) co-parent their baby with Mark Sloan (Eric Dane) who continues to have an on/off relationship with Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh). Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) deals with the fallout of his decision to tell Owen about Meredith altering the Alzheimer's trial, and becomes an outcast by the other residents. Teddy Altman (Kim Raver) marries Henry Burton (Scott Foley), who later dies of a heart condition, leaving her devastated.
Amelia Shepherd When Derek is offered a job by the President of the United States running a federal brain-mapping research project in Washington, D.C., Amelia, having begun assisting at Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital with some of Derek's patients, takes over his practice, as the head of neurosurgery, at the hospital. She thus gained monikers, such as "Shepherdess" and "Lady Shepherd," so as to differentiate her from Derek. By season 11, she permanently moves in with her brother and her sister-in-law. Initially, she is known at Grey-Sloan largely as Derek's younger sister and once told her brother that she felt like she was constantly in his shadow. She soon begins a relationship with Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd), her boss, and admits to Derek that she is falling in love with him. However, she later tells Owen that it was a mistake to mix their personal and professional lives. Following her brother's death and Meredith's "disappearance," she buries herself in work to distract herself. For some time she and Meredith were estranged over the circumstances of Derek's death but after listening to the very last phone message Derek had recorded for Meredith, she is finally able to let go of the animosity and reaches out to Meredith. Meredith's half sister Maggie moves in, with Amelia labeling the threesome "Lady Chief Trifecta." She gradually befriends Meredith's colleagues and is accepted into their circle. At the end of season 12, she marries Owen Hunt. However, the marriage is very turbulent at times. They struggle to adjust to married life, especially when Owen tells her that he wants kids as she does not want kids, nor does she want to go through the trauma of another pregnancy after the loss of her first child (who Owen doesn't know about). This strains the marriage to the point where she moves out and avoids him entirely. During the rest of the season, she grows closer to the two sisters and focuses more on her work, ignoring her stalling marriage. In season 14, when she went into an MRI as part of a study conducted by Carina DeLuca on female brain activity, she found out that she has a brain tumor. Her old mentor Thomas Koracick removes it without a problem, but Amelia is forced to step back and reconsider how the tumor had affected her life choices and personality. She and Owen end up having an understanding to break up their marriage but still remain close friends. She later assists Owen when he is chosen as a foster parent for a baby boy and bonds with the child's mother, Betty, who is a drug addict. Amelia feels the obligation to become her sponsor and the two of them move in with Owen so they can help Betty maintain her sobriety while allowing her to spend time with her son.
