Club Mission

Penn's Global Surgery Student Alliance (GSSA) is a student-run group focused on promoting accessible, timely surgical care to underserved communities worldwide.

Vision: Sustainable and accessible surgical, obstetric, and anesthesia care worldwide.​

Mission: To educate, inspire, and unite students through engagement and mentorship in global surgery, including anesthesia & OB/Gyn.

Goals:

  • To create awareness about and to advocate for global surgery
  • To educate students about global surgery and sustainable interventions
  • To advance research in global surgery through student involvement
  • To connect students who are interested in global surgery across the country and world
  • To facilitate communication and mentorship between students and current global surgeons, OB/Gyns, and anesthesiologists.
  • To foster the development of the next generation of global surgeons, OB/Gyns, and anesthesiologists

At the core, global surgery is "a field that aims to improve health and health equity for all who are affected by surgical conditions or have a need for surgical care, with a particular focus on underserved populations in countries of all income levels, as well as populations in crisis, such as those experiencing conflict, displacement, and disaster.”

Ultimately, whether you are interested in surgery/anesthesia/OBGyn, global/public health, economics/finance, policy, technology/engineering, education/empowerment, statistics/research, or any combination of these, you have a very significant contribution to make to this growing field.
