Sheinkop’s Orthopedic Mission in Beijing - Part 1

Arrived in Beijing today to start my orthopedic mission. This is the 74th country in which I will have taught surgery or instructed in the past seven years. My assignment is 20 to 60 minute instructional presentations rather than the standard three to seven minute scientific outcome presentation. Spent several hours learning about orthopedic surgery in China. Spent the 13 hours of air time finalizing my many presentations. All in all I have logged over 50 hours in creating instructional materials. My purpose is not to personally take care of a group of patients during a week but rather to teach the orthopedic surgical community in a region or country how to better take care of its own population. In this manner, I ultimately impact the lives and well being of an entire population of people long term rather than 20 or 30 persons in a week hopefully acting as orthopedic surgical ambassador on my own behalf and that of our country.

I will keep you updated during my trip.
