Strengthen the ability of surgeons to engage in political and social platforms to improve care of surgical patients. Encourage the allocation of resources towards addressing surgical inequalities.
Introduce future generations of surgeons to concepts of disparities in surgical care and provide surgeons with the tools to advocate for their patients and communities.
Engage in research methods to better understand disparities in surgical care and access and design appropriate interventions to address these inequalities.
Expand our service to patients beyond providing surgical care and create a positive change within their sociocultural context and within their communities.
