  • Of 229 pre-medical students, 52% identified as underrepresented in medicine, highlighting the need for diversity in healthcare.
  • The workshops focused on post-operative rehabilitation, improving understanding of surgical responsibilities and coordinated care.
  • Results suggest expanding early exposure programs is necessary to attract diverse talent into the surgical field.
