The International Haitian Orthopedic Grand Rounds
Advancing orthopedic surgical excellence through global collaboration.
Dr. Marc F. Swiontkowski leading a foundational trauma case discussion at Hôpital Universitaire de la Paix (HUP).
This historic session served as the inspiration for what has now evolved into the IHOGR.
Global Collaboration. Local Impact.
The International Haitian Orthopedic Grand Rounds (IHOGR) is a premier academic platform bridging global expertise with the realities of low-resource clinical practice. By prioritizing evidence-based strategies for austere environments, we empower surgeons to build sustainable capacity and improve musculoskeletal outcomes where medical infrastructure faces its greatest challenges.
Institutional Partners
Our mission is sustained through the strategic collaboration of leading global medical institutions and surgical societies dedicated to advancing orthopedic education in Haiti and worldwide.
