“Thank you Stanford Surgery for the invitation to give the Louis and Dorothy Kovitz Visiting Professorship lecture this year!
A lot of learning, and above all new friends made. Grateful for the bilateral collaborations in surgery training and innovation for learning and for all the exciting things on the horizon!
Special thanks to Thomas Weiser, Sherry Wren, Cara A. Liebert, MD, FACS, Dana Lin, Micaela Esquivel, Anita Hagan, David Spain and Mary Hawn.
Looking forward to continue to impact surgical education through ongoing collaborative projects like ENTRUST with COSECSA, The College of Surgeons of East, Central and Southern Africa and nationally through the Surgical Society of Kenya.”
Quoting Stanford Surgery‘s post:
“We were thrilled to host Dr. Miachel Mwachiro earlier this year.
Dr. Mwachiro is the President of the Surgical Society of Kenya and Chair of the Education and Research committee for the College of Surgeons of East, Central and Southern Africa (COSECSA).
On February 24th, 2026, Dr. Mwachiro presented the Louis and Dorothy Kovitz Visiting Professorship Lecture. His talk, ‘Leveraging Global Collaborations and Innovation for Research, Training and Mentorship in Surgery,’ focused on his perspective on surgical education and ways to develop and promote educational efforts.
Prior to and following his lecture, he joined the department for a two-week observership with a special emphasis on Stanford’s advanced endoscopy program. He noted that the experience provided valuable insights into the surgery culture and best practices in the United States.
We caught up with him during his visit to talk about his experience and what he hoped to share with the Stanford community.”
