National Professional Development Seminars for Medical Students
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted medical education, making it difficult for students to access the guidance they needed to plan their pathway toward a surgical career. To answer this critical need, the ACS Division of Education and the Committee on Medical Student Education initiated a series of webinars entitled the National Professional Development Seminars for Medical Students.
Advice and Guidance to Medical Students Pursuing a Career in Surgery
The Explore Series was developed to address those students considering specialization. Each webinar in the series highlighted two to three surgical specialties or sub-specialties. A panel of top surgeons and educators within each field answered questions from medical students and addressed topics such as training paradigms, exciting innovations, work/life balance, and what drew each of them to their chosen specialty. The recorded panel discussions are viewable below, along with a list of the moderators and panelists involved. Members of the Committee on Medical Student Education are indicated with an asterisk (*).
