The Global Institute and Project Medishare collaborated with the MSPP and the State University of Haiti on an advanced training program in neurosurgery in an effort to address a critical need for neurosurgical care in Port au Prince, Haiti. The program provides education and mentorship to a Haitian neurosurgical resident with didactic sessions and in-hospital practical apprenticeships.
We hope to help enable 24/7 neurosurgical coverage at the only trauma and critical care hospital in Haiti and equip a corps of the brightest Haitian trauma surgeons to handle basic brain trauma in an emergency setting. After completion of their fellowship, these neurosurgeons will be assigned to the major hospitals throughout the country where the need for neurosurgical procedures are most urgent.
