ABSTRACT
Solutions to address the global burden of musculoskeletal trauma in Latin America require not only financial resources and clinical research infrastructure, but also non-clinical leadership capacity-building for orthopaedic surgeons. Recognizing the impact that leadership development training has on improving patient outcomes and performance of healthcare organizations, orthopaedic surgeons in Latin America could greatly benefit from these opportunities. Yet, formal training or opportunities to attend such programs, particularly in countries with limited resources, largely do not exist. Most of the literature describing leadership programs is concentrated on high-income countries (HICs), specifically in North America and Europe. As a result of this discrepancy, the network of orthopaedic trauma surgeons, Asociación de Cirujanos Traumatólogos de las Américas (ACTUAR), developed curricula for a novel Leadership Development Program (LDP) for Latin American orthopaedic surgeons. This paper describes the delivery of the one-day LDP delivered to forty orthopaedic trauma surgeons at the 30
th Annual Federación Mexicana de Colegios de Ortopedia y Traumatología (FEMECOT) Congress in Hermosillo, México on October 31, 2019.
