About Us

The Gimbernat Surgical Society (AQG) was established in 2011 by 4th year medical students from the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences at Pompeu Fabra University. This student-driven society is guided by our esteemed Honorary President, Professor Manuel Pera. We are committed to encourage the growth and passion for surgical knowledge through events and activities.

Our primary purpose is to bring surgery closer to medical students to complete their formation at university. This way we get to inspire them to consider surgery as a viable career option. Our members share this common interest in the field of surgery and work together to achieve our objectives.
