20251 citationOpen accessUniversity Of Global Health Equity

Abstract

The study has shown that such an online, synchronous, virtual teaching series is in high demand, feasible, and crucial for closing knowledge gaps in didactic cardiothoracic, vascular, and transplant surgery within the COSECSA region. These sessions are well received by COSECSA trainees and are accessible, highlighting a clear demonstrable need. It is recommended that such efforts be sustained and expanded, with additional competency areas to broaden the impact.
