Lead Surgical Education Innovation
The SELF Community of Practice (CoP) is a community and platform consisting of global leaders who are committed to bringing procedural skills training to the point of care.
Join the global movement to transform medical skills education and training. Be part of a community to assemble, design, and construct scalable approaches to skills training. Together our community aims providing millions of people in need of safe, competent surgical care.
Community of Practice refers to global leaders such as training module developers, surgical practitioners, innovators, learners, researchers, and subject matter experts who shape the future of procedural skills training. They come together to accelerate progress towards a future where high-quality procedural skills training is universal.

“We wanted to pick a disease that’s under-treated laparoscopically in our setting in low-middle income countries. It’s two parts - both didactic to teach the head knowledge, and also a skill system that residents can build on their own to teach the technical skills needed to be able to perform safe laparoscopic surgery and build on those skills.”
Dr. David Jeffcoach, Former General Surgery Residency Program Director, Soddo Christian Hospital, Ethiopia
