| Many professionals tell us the same thing:
“I have work worth sharing, but I’m not sure how to start.”
If you’ve conducted research, written a case report, completed an audit, or developed insights from operating room practice, there is a place for your work.
At The Operating Room Global Journal (TORGJ), we publish research and practical insights that strengthen surgical systems, improve perioperative care, and center human factors in global health.
If you’ve been considering sharing your work this year, this is your starting point.
We look forward to amplifying work that improves care where it matters most.
