    Welcome to the SAGES Stories Podcast!

    In episode 34, our most excellent hosts talk to TWO! TWO! guests (ah ah ah). Drs. Grace Kim and Linda Zhang join us to discuss the SAGES Go Global program and the experience of volunteering in low resource environments.

    Welcome to the SAGES Stories Podcast!

    In episode 33, our intrepid hosts talk to surgeon, educator, international man of mystery, possible MI6 operative, and Third Culture Kid Adrian Park, MD, FRCS (C) FACS.
