Description
I'm a West African (Benin) with a US medical degree with 3 years of general surgery (preliminary) training. I currently work as a Clinical Research Fellow in trauma and pain management research. My goal, however is and has always been to be involved in global humanitarian efforts; more specifically, to provide surgical care to the underserved across the world. I understand that I have not completed my surgical training (and with no categorical position to complete my training here in the US), is there an opportunity to join an organization or a practice or team of surgeons, be mentored and work perhaps, as a surgical assistant in the field? In the hopes of gaining the experience I need to confidently and safely provide the care to those in need as I have always envisioned in the field.
