Global Collaboration for Burn Care Excellence. Temple Health was honored to host a team of Ukrainian burn surgeons and nurses from Kiev and Lviv. These brave clinicians face war-related trauma daily and traveled to Philadelphia to learn from the renowned Temple Burn Center. Observing the practice of Dr. Lisa Rae, Medical Director, Temple Burn Center and Associate Professor, Surgery, Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, our Ukrainian colleagues gained valuable insights into advanced burn treatment techniques and hospital operations. This collaboration, organized by Global Response Medicine (GRM) and supported by the World Health Organization (WHO), brings Temple's leading approaches for burn treatment to physicians across the world.
