Recent global health projects

1. I am working with the Pan American Association of Ophthalmology and the Sociedad Panamericana de Oculoplastica (SOPANOP) to establish a central organizational structure to facilitate multinational research. Our first project is to verify membership across the region with full contact information. We have developed several surveys with the help of Penn's Center for Preventive Ophthalmology and Biostatistics to establish practice patterns surrounding common oculoplastic surgeries.

2. I was invited in 2020 to participate in resident education virtually for ophthalmology residents in Chile (multiple programs) in a virtual curriculum arranged by Dr. Marlene Vogel (then chair of the ophthalmology department at the Universidad de Chile, Santiago).
