Description
We are a University affiliated academic pediatric neurosurgery division that has an ACPNF accredited fellowship that has been active for 25 years. We have great interest and some experience in global neurosurgery. Over the past 10 years we have interfaced and worked with programs in Ghana, Haiti, Kenya and Vietnam and have interfaced briefly with programs in Bangladesh and Indonesia. Dr. Johnston is one of the co-founders of Intersurgeon and our parent institution (UAB) has provided financial support for its development. (We are likely registered but I wanted to be sure that each of our members were listed and we had not made erroneous assumptions- please feel free to discard this registration if all members of our Division are properly registered on Intersurgeon.
