Sign up today: Executive Leadership in Global Surgery course

 

The Global Surgery Foundation is partnering with the University of Cape Town in its Executive Leadership in Global Surgery Course.

The course aims to enable leaders in healthcare in the public, private and voluntary sectors to become change agents within their context. Participants will be taught to design and lead evidence-based projects and programmes that improve surgical outcomes in their respective organisations, and countries, influencing surgical healthcare on a large-scale basis.

Through this course students can look forward to learning how to:

  • Understand and apply key concepts in global surgery, surgical health systems, innovation and leadership

  • Evaluate surgical systems to identify problems to address through policy and specific interventions at a facility level

  • Design, introduce and scale-up appropriate surgical interventions within broader health system, political and financial considerations

  • Participate effectively within an international network of global surgeons and practitioners
