Cardiff University Surgical Society has grown to become one of the largest medic student societies at Cardiff University and in the United Kingdom! The joint interest, assertion and passion of its members have seen CUSS grow into a dynamic and exciting research, teaching and support engine for students with surgical interests. Throughout the year, we plan trips, activities and much more! We provide anatomy teaching, lectures from field-leading surgeons as well as skills training and surgical lecture series prior to medical school finals. We also raise money for charity and help our local schools with applications to medicine.
