“…The global health elective itself was offered to trainees in postgraduate years (PGY) 2, 3, and 4. In this experience, trainees were able to perform minor and major gynecologic surgeries, serve as surgical educators, and design a didactics curriculum for the local medical interns in Botswana – all under appropriate faculty supervision 3 . In keeping with ACGME guidelines, the BHP program designated a full‐time Ob/Gyn faculty member at the hospital, whose role focused on providing clinical care, leading capacity‐building efforts of local health providers, and supervising the clinical elective for US Ob/Gyn trainees 3 …”

Collective interest in global health training during US obstetrics/gynecology (Ob/Gyn) residency has grown over the past decade. The benefits of participation in global health electives have been well described. This review seeks to determine what literature exists regarding the use of Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Milestones in Ob/Gyn residency as an assessment tool to evaluate global How to cite this article: Monestime GM, Baird I, Rebarber A, Shirazian T.

Shortages of primary care providers across the United States have exacerbated health disparities, particularly for marginalized groups. As one of the most accessible healthcare professionals in the United States, pharmacists are well‐positioned to help address health disparities. Addressing health inequities is an Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education requirement in pharmacy school curricula, however, there is currently no standardized requirement to incorporate these principles into postgraduate pharmacy residency or fellowship training. A PubMed search was conducted to explore examples of health equity inclusion within postgraduate training for pharmacy and similar healthcare disciplines, as well as identify best practices. As limited models—pertaining to pharmacy postgraduate training programs—were available, this endeavor aims to provide recommendations for the successful implementation of health equity education into didactic and experiential learning opportunities.

Purpose With increased interest in international surgical experiences, many residency programs have integrated global surgery into their training curricula. For surgical trainees in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), physical exchange can be costly, and laws in high-income countries (HICs) prevent LMIC trainees from practicing surgery while on visiting rotations. To enrich the educational experience of trainees in both settings, we established a monthly virtual trauma conference between surgery training programs. Methods General surgery teams from two public institutions, a public university with two surgical training programs in Kenya and a public university with two level I trauma centers in the United States, meet monthly to discuss complex and interesting trauma patients. A trainee from each institution presents a clinical case vignette and supplements the case with pertinent peer-reviewed literature. The attendees then answer a series of multiple-choice questions like those found on surgery board exams. Results Monthly case conferences began in September 2017 with an average of 24 trainees and consultant surgeons. Case discussions serve to stimulate dialogue on patient presentation and management, highlighting cost-conscious, high-quality care and the need to adapt practice patterns to meet resource constraints and provide culturally appropriate care. Conclusion Our 5-year experience with this virtual case conference has created a unique and robust surgical education experience for trainees and surgeons who have withstood the effects of the pandemic. These case conferences have not only strengthened the camaraderie between our departments, but also promoted equity in global surgery education and prioritized the learning of trainees from both settings.
