Cold Steel: Canadian Journal of Surgery Podcast

The transition from surgical residency to fellowship is a landmark step. Two fantastic surgery fellows offer us their advice on everything fellowship! Salila Hashmi and Greg Knapp are fellows in Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary and surgical oncology respectively.

We talk about applying to a fellowship, obtaining personal letters, the importance of resident electivesfor setting up fellowship opportunities, and how to get the most out of your time as a fellow. Good luck
to all fellows starting this July 1!!
