This episode features Dr. Courtney Townsend, MD, FACS. He did both his medical school and residency training at the University of Texas Medical Branch and a fellowship in surgical oncology at the University of California Los Angeles. Throughout his time in medicine, Dr. Townsend has served many roles including: President of the American College of Surgeons, President of the American Surgical Association, Director of the American Board of Surgery, and Chair of Surgery at UTMB - to name a few. He is the editor-in-chief for Sabiston Textbook of Surgery.
In this episode, we talk about what it's like to apply to a surgical residency and the things applicants should consider to be successful - along with general medical and life advice from a man that may know a little about both.
