Description of request
I am organizing a twice monthly virtual conference on fridays 8am EST with neurosurgeons in Ghana and Nigeria-geared to resident and faculty education-each meeting will be 60-90 mins long and will be a mixture of case presentations and lectures-looking for seasoned and experienced neurosurgeons to participate, help guide discussions, and teach trainees
Hope to create a list of neurosurgeons who can participate-goal is to have enough experts during each meeting in all subspecialty areas -I may designate leaders for discussions depending on the types of cases that would be presented- There will be didactic lectures in clinical as well as research topics. the 8am EST which is approximately 1 pm Ghana and Lagos Nigeria time seems to work best for the neurosurgeons in Ghana and seems to be a good time for our residents at the University of Louisville to participate. Interested neurosurgeons should have availability at that time not every meeting but attend at least 50% of the meetings if possible. Young neurosurgical faculty with interests in global neurosurgery education may also participate. If interested please send me your CV. Currently, most of the neurosurgeons in Ghana plan to participate and several neurosurgeons in Nigeria. Due to Covid, I expect this to be virtual over the next year but once Covid settles likely this would evolve to include annual educational conference in Ghana. The ultimate goal is to raise quality of neurosurgical education and care in Ghana and West Africa diaspora and facilitate bidirectional learning.
