Our Global Surgery Research Fellow, Michael Scott, at the V Colombian Conference at Harvard & MIT was able to learn about the many obstacles that Colombia faces beyond just healthcare delivery. He had the opportunity to hear personal stories from speakers who suffered directly from these obstacles and how they turned their difficulties into positive change. This conference was filled with many intelligent and inspirational people that are dedicated to making Colombia better. We are very proud of our residents and students taking the initiative to attend and participate in life changing learning opportunities. Go ahead take the plunge into Global Health or any other interests you have. The world is yours! 🌎 @ Harvard University

John Dutton, our graduating fourth year medical student, soon to be Dr.Dutton, presented this morning at the Hospital Universitario Del Valle (HUV) surgeon’s conference. He presented our collaborative work on advocating for surgical system strengthening in Latin America. He has been a crucial part of our global surgery research team and has helped in strengthening our relations in Cali. Swipe left to see John with our great team of healthcare workers in Cali- Dr.Fandiño, Dr.Ordoñez, Consuelo Burbank (head nurse at HUV), Dr.Claudia Orlas (research resident), and Francisco Samuel Lopez Burgos (nursing student). Our team in Cali has been instrumental in collecting surgical indicator data and advocating for global surgery research. Team work makes the dream work. 🌎 @ Hospital Universitario del Valle - Evaristo García

Hospital Universitario de San Vincente Fundación (San Vincente Fundación University Hospital) was lead and started by Alejandro Echavarría Isaza with the idea of funding a massive hospital that would have sufficient capability to serve the people of Antioquia, Colombia and the rest of Colombia for whatever care they need. Today San Vincente Fundación is one of the largest and most important healthcare institutions in Colombia and Latin America. We are very fortunate in having the opportunity to learn from them! Our research fellows are taking every opportunity to shadow, network, and collaborate on research projects. Get involved with global surgery today! The world is yours. 🌎🌍🌏 🇨🇴

Had a very productive global surgery meeting bright and early today. "Collaboration is the new competition" are just some of the wise words that Dr.Peck had to offer.
