Dr. Theodore Schwartz will participate in a unique neurosurgical mission to an underserved part of Mexico this summer, delivering neurosurgical training to health care providers and neurosurgical services to patients at the Hospital Civil Fray Antonio Alcalde in Guadalajara.
The trip is part of the Community Neurosurgery project, founded by neurosurgeons at the University of California San Francisco, Johns Hopkins, and the Universidad de Guadalajara in an effort to bring current neurosurgical techniques to an underprivileged part of the world. The six-day program, beginning July 26, will include case presentations, neurosurgical procedures, post-operative analysis, and an intensive academic program for clinical providers and neuroscience researchers. Dr. Schwartz joins the program, now in its fifth year, to add his expertise to the faculty bringing much-needed neurosurgical training and services to the state of Jalisco on Mexico’s west coast.
Dr. Schwartz has a longstanding commitment to bringing advanced neurosurgery to all parts of the globe, including India, China, Australia, Brazil, and Singapore, to name just a few. (See more about Dr. Schwartz’s international teaching.) This summer’s Mexico trip begins July 26.
