Multidisciplinary Assessment of Global and Rural Surgery Initiatives 2019 Northwestern Medicine Feinberg School of Medicine

The purpose of the following survey is to collect information on the interest and experience of individuals involved in the multidisciplinary care of surgical patients at all levels including faculty, fellows, residents, and staff in global and rural surgical care.

This can be interpreted broadly but would include clinical care, education, research, policy, advocacy and/or volunteer work in local, national, or international resource-limited or low-income settings.

The goals are to catalog experiences into an online forum, identify areas of overlap and potentials for collaboration, improve support and funding opportunities, and to strengthen existing partnerships.
