TSSS is one of a kind and focuses on all the needs of medical students. It has become a bridge between theory and clinical knowledge and will play a key role in the development of future clinicians. It is a privilege to be a part of it.

TSSS has provided me with a platform to share my love of surgery with other students and learn from their skills and experiences. Even as a "junior" student there are numerous opportunities catered to my level of experience to develop my skills and knowledge.

TSSS is a collaboration of students who share the same passion, excitement and dreams for their surgical careers. The workshops, lecture series and outreaches have given me the opportunity to improve my skills and confidence. TSSS goes the extra mile to prepare us for our future, while making meaningful contributions to people’s lives along the way.

TSSS cultivates a love for practical medicine in each of its members. So much so, that when rare opportunities present themselves (in my case helping a leopard-attack victim during my third year elective), we feel comfortable to participate in the management of patients.

TSSS has given me so many opportunities. Not just to develop my skills and broaden my knowledge, but also opportunities to meet new people from various years that I am proud to call friends.
