Evaluation of the leadership Course for orthopedic surgeons in Cuba
Keywords:
leadership, development program, Cuban orthopedic surgeonsAbstract
Sustainable strategies and infrastructures, as well as improvements in management and governance of health organizations, are required to improve orthopedic trauma care. However, there are few opportunities for formal leadership development, especially, in Latin America. For this reason, the Association of Traumatologist Surgeons of the Americas carried out a Leadership Development Program adapted to Latin American orthopedic surgeons. The first course was held in Mexico in 2019. This experience was transferred to Havana in February 2022. This document reports on the needs for leadership development among Cuban orthopedic surgeons and students, the course curriculum, and impressions of the attendees.
