MULTIDISCIPLINARITY
Our multidisciplinary team has a track record of data science application to trauma and acute care challenges in HIC and LMIC. We also have a demonstrated commitment to using data science approaches to address surgical inequity in the US and in SSA. We propose to build on this strong foundation to complete two projects supported by the D-SINE Africa Cores that aim to improve surgical outcomes at points in patient trajectories most likely to be impactful.
