The volunteers will teach physician anesthesiologists, residents and staff in Rwanda about perioperative anesthesia, including critical care medicine, procedural skills in a new simulation center and pediatric anesthesia.

“There is a shortage of physician anesthesiologists in Rwanda and a great need for educated healthcare providers,” said Michael Heine, MD, an ASA member volunteering in the program.
