Training the Next Generation of Global Surgeons

The GME Global Health Scholars academic enrichment program is available to any surgery resident and fellow who wants to advance their global health knowledge and leadership skills. This two-year training program gives them exposure to trainees in other specialties and network with 91九色视频's globally engaged faculty who provide interactive didactic seminars across the Consortium of Universities of Global Health competencies. Currently 37 trainees across 14 subspecialities are enrolled. This educational effort culminates in a global health away rotation where surgery trainees can witness surgical services in another part of the world. This academic year, six residents will rotate abroad. Opportunities with our faculty's collaborators in Nepal and Ethiopia allow trainees to experience surgery in diverse resource settings. The new Global Surgery Fellowship is a two-year training program for the already globally engaged resident to have advanced practice as an educator and surgeon, collaborating with in-country partners to build surgical capacity, as well as research, education and quality improvement efforts.

The American College of Surgeons (ACS) has developed a strong partnership with the College of Surgeons of East, Central and Southern Africa (COSECSA). COSECSA is responsible for the training and credentialing of surgeons in the region where currently there are 0.53 surgeons for every 100,000 population. Our Department of Surgery has joined 12 other academic institutions who have invested in the global solution to build a common global learning environment where sustainable and mutually beneficial partnerships can be developed to build surgical workforce capacity in Low and Middle-Income Countries.
