On this episode of the UnsCripted Medicine podcast, host Molly Carroll is joined by Nick Weissman to talk about his experience with dissection here at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. As an incoming general surgery intern, Nick reflects on the opportunity to get hands-on experience with anatomy early on here at UCCOM, an experience that is becoming more unique as virtual dissecting becomes more popular. As M4s, both Nick and Molly stepped into the role of teachers with the Anatomical Sciences Teaching Elective and chat about this transition, as well as what makes Cincinnati's program so special. We hope you enjoy!
