Program Description: A team of residents (PGY-2 to PGY-4) and faculty developed a curriculum that included:
·Didactics: Integrated into noon conferences, focusing on global epidemiology and management of neurological disorders with goals of creating awareness about epidemiology, approach to diagnosis and treatment of common neurological disorders worldwide. We aimed for 4 talks for the year. In 2025, 79% (27/34) and 41% (14/34) found didactics and grand rounds most engaging, respectively.
·Grand Rounds: Featured expert speakers on topics such as neurosurgical practice in Ghana, tropical neuroinfectious diseases, and epilepsy care in South America. We hosted 3 visiting faculty in 2024-2025 academic year
·International virtual Conferences: Case discussions and journal clubs with the Neurological Society of Ghana, with over 80 participants. Interest was 60% (29/48) in 2024 and 47% (16/34) in 2025.
·Geographic mentor/ mentee Pods: Interested residents were paired with faculty mentorship in host country and home institution to pursue a 4 week away elective. In 2024, 44% (15/34) expressed interest in similar opportunities. In 2025, one resident completed an away rotation through this track.
·Local Engagement: Collaborated with refugee integration organisations to provide health education to underserved communities.
After one year, 79% (27/34) of residents were satisfied with their global neurology exposure. The majority (79%) sought a deeper understanding of diverse health systems and culturally competent care.
