Surgery Interest Group (SIG)

Surgery Interest Group (S.I.G)

Our Mission:

The mission of Surgery Interest Group (SIG) is to promote student exposure to and participation in the multifaceted field of general surgery and surgical subspecialties. In order to accomplish this mission, SIG plans a variety of experiences throughout the year including, but not limited to: lunch presentations by physicians in various surgical sub-specialties, shadowing opportunities during surgeries and grand rounds, and suture and knot-tying clinics to prepare students for surgical rotations during the third year. In addition to being the largest student group on campus, SIG also serves as the primary link between the student body and the SIM Center on the 4^th floor of HSEB. Furthermore SIG sponsors educational workshops using state-of-the-art simulation equipment to prepare students for surgical rotations.

If you are interested in general surgery or surgical subspecialties, do not hesitate to contact the organization leadership to become more involved and find opportunities!
