We are honored to announce that, derived from our partnership with the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and the Global Surgery Foundation (GSF), the CGS updated Trauma and Disaster Team Response (TDTR) course has been available on the UN SURGhub platform since June 28, 2023. Furthermore, starting from September 29, it is now also available on the mobile app for both iOS and Android devices.
The TDTR course conveys standard of care management of the injured patient, including disaster response, and it emphasizes a multi-disciplinary approach tailored for frontline healthcare workers, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). TDTR is a hybrid-learning course comprising two components: online didactic lectures, and in-person skills sessions including team exercises and simulations.

Both components of the TDTR course have been successfully delivered in collaboration with our partners in LMICs in Asia, Eastern Europe, sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East.
Since 28 June 2023, when the SURGhub platform was launched, 367 learners from around the world have registered to the online component in English. The French version will also become available in the coming months.
