The UBC Surgery Club is both honored and excited to have Dr. Andrew Seal present “A Somewhat Personal and Remarkably Incomplete Illustrated Introduction to the History of Medicine and Surgery” on Monday, February 24th. This fascinating topic is one that is no longer covered in our medical school curriculum, so this event is a great opportunity to learn about the evolution of medicine and surgery. Dr. Seal has graciously given this engaging lecture annually for many years and we are excited to have him share his passion with surgical history once again. We have also stepped the venue up a notch from the MSAC to the Paetzold Auditorium in VGH, so come on out for a great evening!

Thanks to everyone who submitted their information for this year’s Surgical Mentorship Program! We are in the process of matching everyone to a surgical mentor and will contact you when this process is complete.
