We are excited to have resumed our operative trauma course for the Surgical Senior House Officers at Mulago National Referral Hospital! Thank you to the Department of Surgery for supporting this course and the faculty who dedicated time to review critical trauma exposures

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.

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 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.

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.

Basic and Advanced Surgical Skills training 2024 in collaboration with Center for Health Equity in Surgery & Anesthesia scheduled for 18th and 25th May, 2024.
