Once again, I had the opportunity to join my colleagues on a medical mission in October as part of Global ENT Outreach. Our trip this time took us to El Salvador, where in the course of ten days we performed over 40 ear procedures on some of the country’s most needy citizens, both young and old. We also provided education on the latest surgical techniques and procedures for local physicians in the city of San Salvador in order to create a sustainable program for the future. Our team consisted of Richard Wagner, MD, an otolaryngologist who runs Global ENT Outreach (GEO), and Derald Brackman, also an ENT from the U.S. To view photos from the medical mission, click here.
