POGO Virtual Symposia: Delivering Orthopaedic Care after Disasters or in Austere Environments – Challenges and Needs

Chairs: Elhanan Bar-On, MD, MPH; Corey Gill, MD; Ignacio Sanpera, Sr.; and Christopher Souder, MD. This year’s Pediatric Orthopaedic Global Outreach Symposium focuses on the practice of orthopaedics in austere environments resulting from conflict, natural disaster, or lack of resources. A variety of experts will discuss their experiences in three regions around the globe: Ukraine, Haiti, and Sub-Saharan Africa. This will be followed by a panel discussion highlighting the perspectives of surgeons with experience working in under-resourced environments. The program will conclude with an introduction of POGO scholars and presentation of their research projects.
