Abstract

Subinternships are formative rotations in the surgery-bound medical student's journey to surgical training. This experience allows for further exploration of career goals, plays an important evaluative role in the residency selection process, and offers ongoing opportunities for technical and non-technical development. The graduated responsibility experienced in this setting extends beyond what was experienced during the core surgical clerkship where students are first interfacing with the clinical environment. We review and reflect on the role of subinternships in developing the leadership skills that surgery-bound medical students will need to effectively lead interprofessional healthcare teams in the future.
