Megan Springer

Medical Student

University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health

Medical Student (n/a)

As a third-year medical student in an MD/MPH program and aspiring academic surgeon, I am eager to express my interest in serving on a committee within the Association for Academic Surgery. ASC 2024, my first research conference, was a transformative experience. Presenting my global health research, attending other presentations and talks, and connecting with leaders in academic surgery fueled my passion for academic surgery and sparked my desire to get more involved with AAS.

Throughout medical school, I have developed my leadership skills as an elected member of our class leadership. In this role I have facilitated communication between students and faculty to help make improvements to the medical student experience. I have also served as the co-leader of the Urology Interest Group and served on the MD Student Wellness Taskforce, which has further developed my organizational and communication abilities.

If given the opportunity to serve on a committee, I am committed to being an advocate for medical students within AAS. I believe I can make meaningful contributions in medical student recruitment and engagement, as well as foster positive changes and growth within the organization. Thank you for considering my application for a committee position.
