Ever wondered where Grey’s Anatomy writers get their medical stories? One significant source is current surgery residents participating in the Grey’s Anatomy Surgical Communication Fellowship. Intrigued? SDN recently interviewed the medical team for the show to learn more about what it’s like to work in this role.
You can apply to be a Grey’s Anatomy Surgical Communications Fellow! The job offers opportunities in medical consulting, medical writing and research.

We’ve been on the Internet for over 20 years doing just one thing: providing health career information for free or at cost. We do this because we believe that the health education process is too expensive and too competitive. Many people and organizations have built their businesses making money on students who are desperate for any opportunity to become a doctor.
We believe that all students deserve the same access to high-quality information. We believe that providing high-quality career advice and information ensures that everyone, regardless of income or privilege, has a chance to achieve their dream of being a doctor.
