It was very interesting; we got to try out a variety of different skills.

MPUniversity of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom

It was an amazing opportunity to take part in the more practical parts of surgery that we do not usually get exposed to and it was very interesting to learn more about how to get into surgery.
