“…The open sharing of knowledge and research efforts has stimulated global collaborative bonds with common purpose. It is our hope that these will continue beyond the pandemic, for the benefit of both education and research [ 70 ]. Furthermore, all facets of research (proposals, funding, basic research, clinical research, publication and translation into practice) have typically followed a slow and archaic roadmap [ 71 ].…”

“…As the smartphones and gadgets are becoming more and more affordable, videoconferencing through mobiles, using 4G is on the anvil and will play a major role in tele-education. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has affected the training of surgical residents in adverse way, but because of shear necessity, it has resulted in integration and acceptance of telemedicine into the formal education and training [ 22 , 23 ]. Ministry of Health, Government of India, released telemedicine practice guidelines on March 25, 2020 [ 24 ].…”

Initiation of telemedicine in medical education in India was at par with developed countries but acceptance and progress have been slow. However, the recent coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic leading to disruption of Halstedian model of surgical teaching has changed the traditional dynamics of perception of this mode of education. Sanjay Gandhi PostGraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS), has been a pioneer and introduced the telemedicine system into surgical education as early as in year 2001. In this article, we reviewed the literature on tele-education in surgical field in Indian scenario, with particular emphasis on tele-education activities at the SGPGIMS, with respect to current thinking and future prospects on surgical training.

“…Many of the models of international cooperation described in this study rely heavily on travel, which has been dramatically curtailed due to the pandemic. While hugely disruptive, this may also be “an opportunity to rethink global cooperation in higher education and research” [ 85 ]. Innovative approaches to the delivery of global surgery education and training at a distance may prove more efficient than models based on trainees and surgeons flying across the world [ 86 ].…”

Global Surgery Education and Training Programmes—a Scoping Review and Taxonomy

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Global surgery is an emerging field of study and practice, aiming to respond to the worldwide unmet need for surgical care. As a relatively new concept, it is not clear that there is a common understanding of what constitutes “global surgery education and training”. This study examines the forms that global surgery education and training programmes and interventions take in practice, and proposes a classification scheme for such activities. A scoping review of published journal articles and internet websites was performed according to the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Review guidelines. PubMed MEDLINE, EMBASE and Google were searched for sources that described global surgery education and training programme. Only sources that explicitly referenced a named education programme, were surgical in nature, were international in nature, were self-described as “global surgery” and presented new information were included. Three hundred twenty-seven records were identified and 67 were ultimately included in the review. “Global surgery education and training” interventions described in the literature most commonly involved both a High-Income Country (HIC) institution and a Low- and Middle-Income Country (LMIC) institution. The literature suggests that significant current effort is directed towards academic global surgery programmes in HIC institutions and HIC surgical trainee placements in LMICs. Four categories and ten subcategories of global surgery education and training were identified. This paper provides a framework from which to study global surgery education and training. A clearer understanding of the forms that such interventions take may allow for more strategic decision making by actors in this field.
