SEAD (Surgical Exploration and Discovery)

Launched by the Department of Surgery in 2012, SEAD (Surgical Exploration and Discovery) is a two-week long program for medical students interested in gaining multi-faceted exposure to surgical specialties at the University of Toronto. Under the guidance of volunteering second-year medical students, participants will experience a program that is the first of its kind in Canada, as SEAD forges together a unique combination of observerships across all surgical specialties, informal discussions on surgical lifestyle and career options, and hands-on surgical skills and simulation workshops.
