Maria Siemionow, who led the first US face transplant at the Cleveland Clinic, graduated from PUMS. This thread explores the surgical training environment at PUMS, what clinical exposure looks like during the program, and whether the school has a particular strength in surgical disciplines.

Ok so I read about this on the school’s website and it kind of sold me ngl. obviously one famous alum doesn’t mean the whole program is geared toward surgery, but it made me curious, does PUMS actually have decent surgical exposure for students or is this just like a “look how prestigious our alumni are” marketing thing with no real connection to current students’ experience.
