Our Team

InciSioN is the International Student Surgical Network, and used to be formally known as the IFMSA's Global Surgery Working Group.

We are a collaboration of medical students from all over the world who have come together to discuss about, educate on, advocate for, and perform research in Global Surgery.

We will be providing regular content from our student members around the world, linking to new research and advocacy campaigns as well as providing a space for comments and discussions.
