Program Reviews:
Victoria Reggeti, Summer 2017 Participant
The elements that I found most rewarding were the relationships I formed with some of the doctors. My favorite weeks were those in the operating room because I felt like I was able to see a wide range of procedures and learn a lot about surgeries I was not previously familiar with.

Summer 2018 Participant
My favorite part of this program was getting to be in the operating room and see open surgery first hand.

Summer 2017 Participant
My favorite part of this program was being able to shadow general surgery in the hospital. I got to see many different types of surgeries and was able to ask lots of questions. I am so grateful I had such an educational experience.
