A Request in or around Freetown from University of Sierra Leone Teaching Hospitals Complex
The University of Sierra Leone Teaching Hospitals Complex is the country's only tertiary hospital, serving the country's 8 million people. There is currently no neurosurgeons in the country, and only a few burr holes and shunt procedures have been performed in the last five years by a pediatric surgeon and a general surgeon. Our primary objective is to develop a neurosurgical presence in the hospital as soon as possible. We'll need to convert a vacant theatre room into a neurosurgical suite, train one of our senior registrars to be a neurosurgeon, train support staff, and purchase an MRI/CT-Scan and an anaesthetic machine to fulfil this goal.

A Request in or around Blantyre, Malawi from Physicians for Peace
This opportunity utilizes a hybrid approach of synchronous and asynchronous learning to complement the local surgery curriculum, in which the trainer and trainee can share ideas and questions in real-time, located anywhere in the world. An understanding of the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities available on the Queen Elizabeth campus is a fundamental prerequisite to a meaningful presentation to this audience. Insights into the local culture and customs will make for even more relevant training and discussion. The General Surgery Lecturer will record a Zoom presentation in PowerPoint on a locally-prioritized surgery topic. The presentation is then distributed to trainees at QECH to be viewed prior to a deadline, a pre-requisite for a subsequent live Zoom discussion course with the Lecturer. This format allocates a shorter (1 hour) timeslot for live training, focused entirely on discussion, and allows better quality control of sound/video of the core content.
