The Center for Global Surgery is actively creating new virtual opportunities for discussion, education and participation. These events are made possible through collaborative relationships with universities and individuals living in regions of distress due to war and natural disasters. The topics addressed are determined by the needs of those participating.
Global Trauma Collaboration
The Global Trauma Collaboration is an online educational program developed by surgeons Rachel Davis, M.D., and Kenneth L. Mattox, M.D., which provides physicians in areas of active conflict with expert lectures in the fields of war surgery and austere critical care. This program was developed in response to requests for trauma educational support by surgeons residing and training in the country of Myanmar.
The program has grown to include a number of academic surgical institutions nationwide. Many Baylor faculty, including Kenneth L. Mattox, M.D.; Chad Wilson, M.D., MPH; Bradford G. Scott, M.D.; Marcus Hoffman, M.D.; Michael Coburn, M.D.; R. Mario Vera, M.D.; and UTHealth oral maxillofacial surgeon, Jose Marchena, M.D., D.M.D., have been featured as speakers and discussants. As the program has continued to grow, surgeons in conflict zones can now access a library of trauma lectures in an accessible language, at any time.
