In an attempt to better understand the impact of such clinical observerships on ISs and their home countries, a recent study found that participation in an NA pediatric orthopaedic observership had a positive perceived impact on the majority of visiting ISs, did not contribute to substantial brain drain, and may assist with local capacity-building 12 .…”
