"He who has health, has hope;
and he who has hope, has everything."
Thomas Carlyle
That's the power of
teach one. heal many.
OUR MODEL IS BASED ON THREE PRINCIPLES:
Train. Support. Empower.
Through our programs, we help local surgical care providers receive the training they need to heal patients in their own communities.
teach one. heal many.
OUR MODEL
We Train
We embrace the capacity building impact of training and education, and combine hands-on training with theory to teach both the "how" and the "why" of each new technique.
The Pay-it-Forward Effect: Each practitioner we train shares this knowledge with up to 70 others.
We Support
We support each community where we work through our network of partners, and we identify appropriate equipment, policies and curriculum to develop local capacity and best practices.
Strong Partnerships: We work together to determine the best solutions in each community.
We Empower
By ensuring that our partners have both the knowledge and the resources, we empower them to make decisions and develop their capacity to create sustainable healthy communities.
Long-term Solutions: In everything we do, our goal is to foster self-reliance and sustainability.
Exponential Impact
Our impact goes beyond each patient. In training local providers, Physicians for Peace builds strength and sustainability in the full spectrum of surgical care.
Volunteers
Our volunteer educators are a dedicated group of subject matter experts who represent a range of surgical disciplines who believe that education empowers.
Local Partnerships
We collaborate with organizations in the communities we work to identify gaps in training and education.
