The YSA ZH (Young Surgeon’s Association Zürich) aims to establish a platform for Swiss medical students in the field of surgery. Our goals are to offer surgical courses to improve practical skills, to represent the interests of medical students in surgery on a local and national levels, and to create valuable networks between medical students and surgeons. In addition, the association organizes surgery-related events and is passionately committed to promoting surgical education within the medical curriculum. Central to our mission is the creation of a cohesive community of medical students who are committed to excellence in education and research.
