A global education

Today’s surgical students are global learners. We support and engage our residents, fellows, and rotating medical students in opportunities to serve and learn abroad. In our global health work, our students become innovative problem-solvers, increase their insight in resource utilization, develop their hand-on skills, and strengthen their leadership capabilities.
