The Peer Foundation
The Peer Foundation offers grants in the memory of Dr. Lyndon Peer, the founder of The Peer Group, and provides opportunities for the education in the most current plastic surgery techniques for plastic surgeons from countries with emerging healthcare systems.

How has working with the Peer Foundation improved cleft care and craniofacial surgery in Saudi Arabia?
My visit to Stanford University through The Peer Foundation allowed me to attend cleft and craniofacial clinics and learn their protocols for treating cleft cases, including the multidisciplinary team approach. Also, it allowed me to attend complex operating room cases, which were very educational.

Why did you want to be a Peer Foundation International Scholar?
Having acquired knowledge from prestigious hospitals like Harvard, Stanford, CHOP, Mayo and MSK, I have been equipped with the best tools to implement top-notch methods practiced in leading institutions across the United States in my home country. Along the way, I have also met peers who are recognized authorities in this field. Leveraging these valuable connections and experiences, I strive to make a greater impact on my country and patients, which would be the ultimate achievement for me.
In 2023, The Peer Foundation scholar was Dr. Tarush Gupta representing India.
