Canadian Anesthesiologists’ Society International Education Foundation
The Canadian Anesthesiologists’ Society International Education’s (CASIEF) philosophy is to aid developing countries, with no existing formal anesthesia education program, to develop a self sustaining program that fits with the country’s needs and resources. This is accomplished through the hard work of dedicated volunteer faculty and residents.
Canadian Network for International Surgery
The Canadian Network for International Surgery (CNIS) offers training in surgery and obstetrics to low-income countries and in so doing, empowers those countries to minimize the overall risk from injury.
Global Health Office, Dalhousie University
The Global Health Office is dedicated to enriching the lives of faculty, staff, and students through the development and enhancement of international experiences and perspectives targeting global health issues. They work to create opportunities for those interested to select international experience to suit their needs, whether on campus or in other parts of the world.
Kybele is a 501(c)3 humanitarian organization that is committed to the improvement of childbirth conditions worldwide. This is accomplished through medical education partnerships with developing countries through the work of healthcare professionals from Canada, Australia, the United States and Europe.
World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists
The main objective of the World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists (WFSA) is to make the highest standards of anesthesia, trauma management, pain treatment and resuscitation available to every person on the planet.
