Through a unique partnership, HUG, GMKA, and the Harvard Scholars-at-Risk (SAR) program have established an innovative initiative, the Harvard-HUG Medical SAR program, to sponsor medical practitioners from Ukrainian academic institutions who develop transferable medical skills via observerships at Harvard-affiliated hospitals and disseminate this learning with colleagues upon return to Ukraine.
Invited scholars study at hospitals with committed mentors and supervisors of the Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s network for 3-4 weeks developing the knowledge and skills necessary to advance the capacity for improved medical care and services in their country. The overarching aim of this initiative is to foster regeneration and reform for medical infrastructure and care in Ukraine, addressing both acute and long-term needs for the country’s health care system.
To date, we have accepted and coached more than 60 Ukrainian clinicians via the program in a variety of medical subspecialties. Thank you to our partners and the many philanthropists that help to support this program. If you are a medical practitioner from a Ukrainian academic institution and wish to apply for an observership, please submit an application.
