“If you're still asking the minoritized to justify their experiences with racism/sexism/homophobia etc before you take a stand, you're part of the problem. If you're trying to find compromise with fascists, you're part of the problem.” Dr. Imani McElroy. #ASC2024 ❤️🔥💪

This weekend in Kampala, Uganda, we hosted our first-ever CHESA Fellows Retreat. It was a valuable opportunity to bring together our fellows, alumni, faculty, and leadership to connect and share ideas. Stay tuned throughout the week as we share more highlights!✨

On Day 1 of the CHESA Fellows Retreat, introductions highlighted the roles of our fellows and alumni outside the hospital. Putting faces to names showcased the impact they have in their countries, demonstrating their dedication to the field and their need for ongoing support.

Day 1 continued with a session led by Drs. Phyllis Kisa, Doruk Ozgediz, and Fiona Kabagenyi on leadership and health equity. Through interactive discussions and case studies, attendees reflected on their own experiences and explored leadership examples in their settings.

Day 2 was packed with immersive sessions! We started with discussing mentoring principles, shifted to building successful research collaborations between academic and clinical spheres, and wrapped up with practical strategies for project and time management to maximize impact.

Day 2 also included faculty OH for clinical and professional questions. Drs. Baraka Musimu, Martha Namugga, Eden Belay Tilahun, and Lia Jacobson then led a session discussing strategies for how attendees can prioritize their own wellbeing while pursuing their professional goals.

CHESA uniquely supports its fellows and alumni in perioperative care, wherever they are. With the retreat, we were reminded how crucial it is that we foster collaboration, build community, and support their professional development. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE!🎉✨
