I was an avid listener in residency and this podcast was an excellent source of learning materials as a resident. I also used their oral boards course and it was better than the more expensive courses! This podcast and their related products were undeniably instrumental in my success as a surgical resident. Now as a board certified general surgeon I still find useful information in their journal review episodes. Can’t speak highly enough of this podcast!

As a fourth-year medical student on the path to general surgery, I can’t recommend Behind the Knife enough. This podcast has become a staple in my daily routine—whether I’m driving to the hospital, studying for ABSITE-style questions, or just trying to keep my surgical mindset sharp.
What makes Behind the Knife exceptional is its ability to blend high-yield surgical education with the real-world perspective of experienced surgeons. Every episode captures the feeling of being scrubbed in with great mentors—full of teaching moments, humor, and honest reflection about what it means to practice surgery.
From trauma to transplant, colorectal to critical care, the breadth and depth are unmatched. The hosts and guests bring genuine passion and clarity to every discussion, and the board review and journal club episodes are worth their weight in gold for trainees.
Simply put: Behind the Knife isn’t just a podcast—it’s a mentorship platform, a study guide, and a reminder of why I fell in love with surgery in the first place.

BTKIs a wonderful resource for residents students and surgeons in practice. They have recently added materials for medical students who desire to pursue surgery and my medical students found it extremely useful. They also cater to surgeons in practice by adding the Financial series. I highly recommend it to anyone who desires to be a surgeon, or is a surgeon or is trying to perfect their craft!

I've been using BTK since I was a resident. Fast forward 6 years, and I can't stress enough how amazingly helpful the Oral Boards review is. They taught me how to think, how's to verbalize, and how to succeed on the Certifying Exam. HIGHLY recommend.
