Global Rotations
Elective global rotations are available for residents across surgical sub-specialties throughout the medical school.
Global Surgery Student Alliance (GSSA)
Our program works closely with GSSA, the University of Minnesota chapter of the Global Surgery Student Alliance. GSSA is one of the few places where aspiring doctors not only learn what it means to perform surgery in a global context, but also begin networking and building relationships with those interested in pursing a career in global health. We support and advertise GSSA educational activities throughout the year. Prior events have included global health fairs, ethics workshops, and lunch & learn lectures.
Volunteer Network
Our volunteers are a multidisciplinary network of skilled global surgery advocates, participating in local and/or global initiatives. There are endless ways to get involved, from traveling to a low-to-middle income country on a surgical brigade, increasing awareness of global surgical & anesthesia needs, or fundraising for our annual event.
