All about YSSA Zürich
OUR MISSION
YSSA Zürich is more than just a student’s association; it’s a thriving community dedicated to
empowering medical students with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in the world of surgery.
ABOUT YSSA ZÜRICH
The Young Surgical Students Association Zürich addresses the challenge of inadequate surgical education and limited networking opportunities for Swiss medical students interested in surgery. The absence of a dedicated platform hinders skill development and representation at local and national levels. YSSA ZH aims to bridge this gap by creating a networking platform and advocating for surgical education. This initiative is crucial as it empowers medical students to connect, share knowledge, and influence the quality of surgical education and research. The anticipated outcomes include an enhanced skill set among medical students, increased representation, and a stronger collaborative network, contributing to a more empowered and informed future generation of Swiss surgeons.
