GHANA PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS FOUNDATION

President's Welcome,

The Ghana Physicians and Surgeons Foundation of North America (GPSF) was established to support the mission of the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons (GCPS) which was established by an Act of Parliament in 2002 to provide quality postgraduate training in Medicine in Ghana. It also serves as an advocacy group to influence health policy and educate the general public about numerous health care issues in Ghana and Africa. The foundation supports all non-profit health initiatives in Ghana by Ghanaian and other health professionals in North America.

 

GPSF is a registered 501(c) 3 corporation after its founding in 2002. All the expenses related to membership, meetings and donations are therefore tax deductible.

 

To further its goals, GPSF hosts an annual Business and Continuing Medical Education (CME) conference in Atlanta every spring. In collaboration with GCPS the foundation hosts an annual CME event – The Medical Knowledge Fiesta, in Ghana for physicians in practice in Ghana. These conferences are open to the general public.

 

GPSF continues to fulfill its mission of assisting in providing quality training for healthcare professionals in Ghana by providing subscription to world class medical journals as well as online educational tools, and also providing teaching materials to medical colleges in Ghana. Members of GPSF also volunteer their time and energy to work in Ghana either in hospitals or as visiting faculty at the various medical schools.

 

External faculty position in the college (GCPS) can be acquired by becoming a fellow of the Ghana college of Physicians and Surgeons. Information regarding attaining fellowship status can be obtained from the Executive secretary of GPSF.



Sincerely,



​

Dr. Nathaniel Lawson
