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.
