Dr. Richard Hubbard and Dr. Christine Niyibogora in collaboration have successfully launched the department’s new Global Anesthesiology Elective.

Associate Professor, Richard Hubbard, MD is the Director of the Global Anesthesiology Program and Section Chief for Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesiology. Adjunct Instructor, Christine Niyibogora, MD is the Course Associate Director of the Perioperative Global Health Anesthesiology Research Elective in Rwanda.

Senior medical students Juliana Sherchan and Kelly Zhou arrived to Kigali, Rwanda on September 27th. Since then, they have been rotating in the operating rooms of our partner facility, King Faisal Hospital.

They have had the opportunity to learn the basics of anesthesiology and perioperative medicine, and participate in complexsettings and operations. In addition, they are exposed to medical care in a unique and completely different context, broadening their experience and perspective.

We are excited for many more medical students, residents, and fellows to have this opportunity in the future!
