For over 15 years, the Tanzania Neurosurgery Project has worked to strengthen neurosurgical care in Tanzania by building lasting capacity alongside our colleagues there. We are now looking for our next Global Neurosurgery Fellow.
This is a 1–2 year clinical fellowship based at the Muhimbili Orthopaedic Institute (MOI) in Dar es Salaam in collaboration with Weill Cornell Medicine. It is a truly engaging and fulfilling role. you will live and work alongside Tanzanian physicians, contributing directly to patient care while helping the program grow, mentored by Dr. Hamisi Shabani, Dr. Laurent Lemeri Mchome and Dr. Roger Hartl. It is leadership development, cross-cultural immersion, and the chance to do work that genuinely matters, in one of East Africa's most vibrant cities.
We are looking for recently graduated neurosurgeons, neurointensivists, or orthopedic spine surgeons (North America or Europe) with a commitment to global health.
