Advancing Open‐Access Education for the Surgical Team Worldwide: The Development and Rollout of the United Nations Global Surgery Learning Hub (SURGhub)
SURGhub is addressing the needs of underserved surgical learners through innovative, participatory technological solutions. To address the unmet need, SURGhub must expand its educational offering, including through the addition of new content types, personalized learning, and increased provision of content in languages other than English. The translation of SURGhub educational content into improvements in clinical practice and patient outcomes must be measured.
