  • A Must-Listen for Every Aspiring Surgeon

    As a fourth-year medical student on the path to general surgery, I can’t recommend Behind the Knife enough. This podcast has become a staple in my daily routine—whether I’m driving to the hospital, studying for ABSITE-style questions, or just trying to keep my surgical mindset sharp.

    What makes Behind the Knife exceptional is its ability to blend high-yield surgical education with the real-world perspective of experienced surgeons. Every episode captures the feeling of being scrubbed in with gr... more

  • Excellent resource

    Listened to this podcast all through surgical training in Australia and continuing to listen regularly as a fellow. I keep coming back to favourites and find myself sharing episodes with colleagues all the time. Engaging and up to date content with something for all stages of surgical careers.

  • Unparalleled podcast for surgical residents

    I was an avid listener in residency and this podcast was an excellent source of learning materials as a resident. I also used their oral boards course and it was better than the more expensive courses! This podcast and their related products were undeniably instrumental in my success as a surgical resident. Now as a board certified general surgeon I still find useful information in their journal review episodes. Can’t speak highly enough of this podcast!

  • Well done.

    The AOSA series is an excellent addition to the podcast and encouraging to young surgeons unsure if there is a seat at the table for themselves. Thank you for the inclusion.

  • Race/ Gender/ socioeconomic status

    I appreciate the anatomy and procedures that this podcast makes available regarding ACS standards. It’s my expectation that voices on this podcast include women of color and trans and non-binary voices to the podcast. There are plenty of generalists and specialists who “fit the bill”. Give them a more central presence.
