Join the Global Surgery Lab!

Are you interested in learning about global surgery and participating in our projects, or want to pitch your own idea? Join the Global Surgery Lab!

We are a diverse group of students, nurses, and physicians who deeply care about improving access to surgical care worldwide and believe that those solutions come from the ground up.

Our vision is to achieve universal access to quality surgical care everywhere.

Our mission is to give a voice to surgical providers and patients on the ground to express challenges and facilitators of delivering surgical care in their contexts, highlight equitable surgical partnerships, free from neocolonialism and offer evidence-based approaches to building capacity in surgical care.

We are inclusive of all backgrounds, geographical locations, academic institutions, genders, ethnicities and level of experience.
