Global Surgery Student Alliance (GSSA)​

Mission Statement: Our goal is to bring students together for opportunities to network, raise awareness around global surgery through guest lectures by surgeons, promote international research, & create volunteer work abroad. GSSA in the dental realm represents not only Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery but also all of dentistry, particularly in under-resourced areas (i.e. rural communities in the US and globally).

Current opportuinties include:

Cleft Surgery Research​
Those accepted into the research opportunity will be co-authors at publication.​
Please note that preference will be given to GSSA members participating in the International Collaboration Exchange Program (ICEP)!​

Future Events:​
• Lunch-and-Learns on Global Dentistry​
 • Hands-on Workshops for Emergency Dentistry​
• Potential Dental Service Trips Abroad and in the Tri-State Area​
… and more!​
