Current literature documents significant surgical trainee interest in global surgery rotations, trainees' motivations for seeking international opportunities, 1 and how international experiences shape career aspirations. 2 Global surgery rotations have proliferated in residency programs to meet these interests, and studies have documented benefits with these rotations in low-resource settings. 3 However, it is critical to evaluate how local staff at partner facilities perceive visitors' roles and contributions to avoid misperceptions and optimize mutually beneficial partnerships-a topic that has not been extensively investigated. Our study evaluated how local staff at a partner facility perceived the role of visitors and the impact of hosting international health care workers on the facility and staff.
