Academic
Global Surgery Student Alliance (GSSA) aims to educate undergraduate students about global healthcare inequities. GSSA has multiple chapters at different undergraduate universities and medical schools. The undergraduate U of M chapter will host events, workshops, seminars, and webinars with healthcare professionals. The chapter will also organize and facilitate resume workshops and study groups. The events that GSSA hosts will primarily be educational in nature, while also integrating service and research opportunities for impact in the community. For example, there are many activities we may host including but not limited to suturing events, hackathons, emergency medicine clinics, and panels. Members of GSSA also have the opportunity to foster connections with U of M medical school students and practicing medical professionals in the global health field.Health care is a human right, and GSSA hopes to act as a resource for students to learn about providing care to patients. Though GSSA is a pre-health/med organization, it also highlights the multidisciplinary nature of healthcare. Healthcare is a complex topic that does not simply start with going into the doctor’s office. It also involves other disciplines, such as pharmacy, business, public policy, and engineering. We believe that students of differing academic and intellectual backgrounds are vital to the success of our organization. We hope to inspire future healthcare providers, encouraging them to think about healthcare and surgery from a broader, more global perspective.
