#GlobalSurgerySymposium2024: A big thank-you to Dr. Inga Osmers for her presentation on Intersectional Training and Upskilling Surgeons to Work in MSF contexts -- a conversation that is much needed and very engaging!

Bedside teaching is key. And should be prioritized. But is not scalable, therefore we need alternate sources of training surch as courses, virtual lectures, workshops. #surgicaleducation #trainingiskey #globalsurgerysymposium @MSF @GlobalSurgLab

We are grateful for the impactful discussion by Dr. Jim Brown and Dr. Moses Kasumba on their views as program directors on "Training General Surgeons in Africa." #GlobalSurgerySymposium2024
