@DrMattDacso Great paper, Should the partners and visiting MD's be challenging and changing mindsets to people who frequently provide funding to programs? They can help change the metrics on what "success" is for program design and hopefully reduce the challenges identified.

Great paper and much needed work, have a read!

Investing in #CTSurgery = investing in #HealthSystems.

From our upcoming episode. “The whole idea is to empower the community - it’s not just about providing healthcare services. It’s about empowering the community to be able to take care of their own healthcare. How can this be used in your community/area?#globalhealth #surgery

From a recent grand rounds, a great idea to consider. How can we use it to further training for rural and remote providers in various global contexts be it remote regions of Canada or abroad? Short answer: there will likely be more utilization of digital tech in these settings.
