Pictured above: Attendees of the Nigeria SMART course and IGOT team.
IGOT held its inaugural Nigeria SMART Course in partnership with the National Orthopaedic Hospital Igbobi Lagos (NOHIL). Sixty participants from Nigeria and Ghana attended the course. The curriculum focused on open fractures and complex limb deformities in children and adults, led by faculty from across North America, Nigeria, and Kenya.
UCSF faculty included Drs. Anthong Ding, Saam Morshed, David Shearer, Michael Terry, and Sanjeev Sabharwal.
For nearly two decades, IGOT has worked to eradicate the unnecessary loss of limb function by increasing the number of surgeons who can provide vital orthopaedic care in the regions that need it the most.
Upcoming SMART Courses will be held in Latin America, Tanzania and San Francisco, CA.
