Behind The Knife is a comprehensive surgery education platform for healthcare providers at all stages of their training and career. Behind the Knife’s mission is to create innovative surgical education content that is accessible to all.
Behind the Knife was started in 2015 with the lofty goal of revolutionizing surgical education. The founders were frustrated by the lack of practical, engaging, and easy to access surgical education content. Almost overnight Behind the Knife grew from a simple concept discussed over beers by a ragtag group of residents and their mentor to a world-wide resource with tens of thousands of listeners in over 80 countries – and we have been working hard to keep up ever since! We are humbled by the community that has grown around Behind the Knife and grateful for contributions from countless surgical educators along the way.
