Mahisha Virdiana
President“Hold the vision, trust the process.”
Hello, world! I am Mahisha, this year’s Cutting Edge President.
For the past two terms, I’ve seen Cutting Edge grow and become more beautiful, diversifying to the best of its abilities despite being a club that serves niche interests. It’s only been possible thanks to the leadership and teamwork of every individual that the club has been fortunate to house.
We’ve stood the test of time and expanded over platforms, staying in the hearts of medical students as a Student Surgical Society that hosts enriching workshops and stimulating events. I cannot express how excited I am to be here at the helm, working with the people I have around me today, and continuing the legacy of our founding members from the first committee in 2012.
My wonderful team of bright, talented, driven humans are of the same vision, and we’re here to trust the process. I’m ready to be amazed by another year of Cutting Edge’s exponential development, are you?

My name is Yatra Nayan Vasa and I am part of Design Team for this year. It is my second year being in this academic club yet the people in this club already feel like family. I am very new to these skills but I look forward to learning them and spreading that knowledge through interactive workshops, CMEs and lectures. The most important class you can take is technique. One has to learn the process; learn it through endless repetition until it belongs to you, and this is what Cutting Edge brings to you. I look forward to creating new memories, and learning.
