Robert Riviello, MD, MPH
Dr. Riviello is a member of the Program in Global Surgery and Social Change. He is contributing to the establishment of global surgery as a field of scholarship. He has published papers on academic needs and curricula related to surgical training in developing countries, training surgical residents for careers in academic global surgery, surgical conditions and approaches to care in low- and middle-income countries, and other important subjects, such as a study of the impact of the 2010 earthquake on pediatric surgical delivery in Haiti. Also among Dr. Riviello’s scholarly contributions is a chapter on “Surgery in the Tropics” in Hunter’s Tropical Medicine and Emerging Infectious Disease. Furthermore, he co-authored two chapters, one on infectious disease and one on burns, in Global Surgery and Anesthesia Manual: Providing Care in Resource-limited Settings (JG Meara, CD McClain, SO Rogers, DP Mooney, CRC Press, December 12, 2014).
Dr. Riviello is co-principal investigator of the clinical contribution of HMS-affiliated hospitals to the Rwanda Human Resources for Health Program (HRH), a novel capacity–building program involving physicians from several universities across the United States. He helped to launch Harvard Medical School’s participation in this program in 2012 and is involved in ongoing management including annual recruitment of HMS faculty and building the administrative infrastructure to support faculty development in Rwanda.
