Research Summary
During my research time I worked on large database analyses in trauma and acute care surgery. I supplemented this with my Master in Public Health here at YSPH. During this time I also helped deliver a cadaveric based operative trauma course to colleagues in Uganda and lead a course for junior residents to express and discuss the challenges inherent in surgical training in today's world.
