The surgery interest group aims to increase the student's knowledge and understanding of surgery. At each monthly meeting, we invite a surgeon from a surgical specialty to lecture about his practice. During the hour-long meeting, the speaker shows slides, demonstrates procedures, discusses relevant cases and answers questions concerning matching, residency and what to expect as a surgeon. The meetings are open to all medical school students, especially freshmen and sophomores. Past topics have included plastics, trauma, pediatrics, GI, transplant, surgery oncology, a hands-on guide to suturing and basic concepts about operating room procedures and scrubbing.
Membership is free and most communication is done via e-mail and posters.
