Committees
The Surgery Interest Group (SIG) is organized into four core committees, each playing a unique role in fostering growth, collaboration, and professional development among medical students.

Represented by the vibrant and bold Mustard Gold, symbolizing knowledge, growth, and the pursuit of academic excellence.

The team organizes workshops, seminars, and lecture series to introduce students to core surgical techniques and concepts. Examples of activities, include but not limited to, suturing workshops, clinical case discussions, surgical skills training.
Besides attending events, members can volunteer as workshop assistants, content creators, or event organizers. You can also submit your own proposal for a project you would like us to work on.
