Welcome!
Interested in learning surgery? Are you a student, a surgical trainee a surgeon or just someone interested in surgery?
Let me be your guide.
I’m Dr. Erik Pearson and my goal is to scale surgical education and make surgical education approachable.
For the students and residents I want you to be comfortable on the wards, in the ICU, the operating room and of course confident on your exams.
I'm going to discuss a TON of strategies, studying tips, and lessons I've learned over the years as a premed, medical student, surgery resident, pediatric surgery fellow and now attending pediatric surgeon.
I also have a newsletter that comes out with my perspective on healthcare issues, career advice, interesting or inspiring things I've come across in my life as a surgeon, father and husband. It's in our CITIZENSURGEON community that I share new videos, giveaways or live chats.
