This week we talk global surgery and how residents can include their passion for global health in their surgical residency training. This episode includes a truly remarkable interview with Dr. David Kuwayama, a vascular surgeon with University of Colorado Denver and physician with Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders)who just recently returned from assignment. In addition, we talk with Dr. Yihan Lin, general surgery resident at UC Denver, and 2017 winner of the American College of Surgeon's Resident Surgical Volunteerism Award for her work with the Paul Farmer Global Surgery Research Fellowship.
