Medical Student Podcasts

About the Series

One of the core values that stems from the Resident and Associate Society of the American College of Surgeons (RAS-ACS) Membership Committee is “Paying It Forward.” As a result, this committee started the ACS Medical Student Podcast Series to help pass on our experiences to future generations. We believe the podcast series will be able to improve future experiences for medical students who enter the surgical field and give them some guidance with common topics related to research, interviews, matching and the list goes on!
