The Operation: Education program, held annually at both medical schools, offers students the opportunity to speak with a variety of medical specialists and general practice physicians in small groups to ask practical questions about specialties they may be considering. "I would like to have had an event like this when I was a medical student," noted Mark Wegner, MD.

These programs are presented in partnership with the UW’s Wisconsin Medical Alumni Association and the Medical College of Wisconsin-Marquette Medical Alumni Association. There is no fee for students or physicians.

If you would like to participate in this fun and meaningful program by sharing information about your chosen specialty with medical students, please contact Mary at 608.442.3756 or e-mail mary.oleson@wismed.org.


The next Operation: Education program will be held on Wednesday, January 13 from 5:30-8 p.m. at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.
