Very useful for reviewing high-yield sections while driving

I’m a US MS3 interested in psychiatry but needing to make it through my surgery rotation (interesting but anatomy was not my strong suit!). This podcast breaks things down so easily and directly. Between this and PsychED, I am very grateful for you Canadians <3 Thank you!!

What’s the name of the orange stuff that put on the skin just prior to surgery to kill bacteria? I forgot what it is.

The podcast reviews what you need to know. Helped me a question or two from my attendings/residents and helped me ask them good follow up questions. Info here lined up w/ Pestana’s and Recall.

Now suddenly not all episodes available and you get multiple types of podcasts not related to surgery

Surgery intern here, and I love this podcast. Short, to the point, interesting, and teaches me something every time.

PA student in surgery, quite helpful to listen to when driving or when I'm tired of reading. Extremely happy this exists and have recommended it to classmates. --- ---For the authors: Content is fantastic! Thank you so much for concise, to the point information. Very organized. Sometimes the sounds and music in between sections are excessive and I skip ahead, although most of the time the little check mark sounds are helpful since they bullet point the key ideas. Can be overdone... Some guest speakers are better than others. For instance, sometimes I can't help but roll my eyes when Danica is being corny and speaks as if she's talking to children. However at least she never sounds monotone and keeps me awake. One speaker (I can't remember his name) speaks in such a monotone, it's hard to pay attention or want to keep listening. Thanks for putting together such an awesome podcast!!

keep up the awesome work!

As a PA student, I listened to this while driving back and forth to my general surgery rotation site every day. It has a lot of good info, and it really helped me study during the 40-minute commute. However, it has some really annoying sound effects that are very distracting. The ambulance sirens are particularly inappropriate and distracting while driving and would make me stop and look for the ambulance while on the commute. Even when I listened to it while not driving, things like children cheering or applause would distract me from my train of thought while studying. Before I could consider giving this a 5/5, those sound effects would have to go.

From a civilian's standpoint the contents sound useful. They help me understand what surgeons do, and need in order to do their work, the variety of specialties and the parts of the process. I got thru the first 100 so far and only find fault with many of the music inserts, primarily those that are louder than the body and start/stop without fade in/out. High school students with an interest in medicine should hear these and anyone else with an interest in specific areas, such as shock or hip fractures. Thanks to all those who made an extra effort to put the series together.

I really like the information but the sound effects are really distracting and could be dispensed with.

I listen to this podcast in between lectures or study breaks as a way to keep the massive amount of material in Year 1 of med school in perspective. It's nice to think that all of the information in the books will be applied, and this podcast gives a good idea of what to expect in the coming years. It would be great to have some tips for the early 1st/2nd year students to help prepare for rotations (either surgical or in general). I also agree the music throughout at times can be a bit harsh. All things considered, this is possibly the best podcast for medical students!

Perfect surgery clerkship companion, very relevant and high yield surgical topics. Focused and concise. Keep them coming...waiting for a lec on renal masses!

I'm a PA student on my Surgery rotation and this podcast has been immensely helpful!

Short and to the point. Great for students looking for some highlights on a commute. Would love to hear more of these.

I've really enjoyed listening to this podcast. Very informative, right-to-the-point podcast! Highly recommend!

The information is nice, but the music between chapters is too loud! Please normalize the volume and these will be great!

Surgery 101 is a great resource for medical students on general surgery service.
