Mission
Socially Responsible Surgery (SRS) is a national organization established to make social responsibility a core value of surgical practice. Rooted in the principles of Advocacy, Education, Research, and Service, SRS works to ensure equal access to surgical care, eliminate healthcare disparities, promote patient advocacy, and strengthen community engagement. Through these four pillars, SRS strives to integrate social justice into every level of surgical education and practice by training future surgeons to recognize and address the social determinants of health that shape surgical outcomes. At Rush, the SRS chapter aims to embody these values by serving the diverse Chicago community, partnering with local organizations to expand surgical equity, and inspiring medical students to become advocates for a more just and inclusive healthcare system.
