Biography
Dalia Sepúlveda Arriagada MD.
Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon in Santiago, Chile
University of Chile Professor

I am Dr. Dalia Sepúlveda A., Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon working in Santiago, Chile. In the past I have been involved and advocated with passion in several educational activities for the specialty through Latin America and other continents.

One of my partnerships that I specially appreciate in global education, and certainly the most honored achievement I reached, it was to become a part of Dr. Lynn Staheli GLOBAL HELP initiative. Our local organization, COTI from Chile, helped him to publish many chapters of the PED Ortho in Spanish for his foundation. We even were able to sponsor a new partnership with SLAOTI in LATAM that I do hope will become part of this renovation of the Global Help Foundation as well of.

Some other combined educational projects based in our COTI CHILE activities, have become a solid pillar helping to organize country, continental and even intercontinental experts’ group in mayor topics in Pediatric Orthopedics. (Musculo skeletal Trauma, Hip diseases, clubfoot, musculoskeletal reconstruction surgery, Education task Force groups).
