“…Previous studies have shown that global volunteerism helped U.S. surgical residents attain greater cultural sensitivity and a deeper understanding of global health issues 16 . Similarly, participants in this study reported attaining a better understanding of the work of team members and greater cost-consciousness.…”

“…Martiniuk et al found that most articles about mission trips are descriptive, with only 5% providing theoretical or conceptual analysis 15 . Those with analytical components have focused on the educational value for U.S. residents 16 , sustainability of missions 1 , and changes in the procedure volume of the international partner 17 . We are not aware of any studies assessing the impact of a mission on the care provided by the international entity or the reciprocal impact on the care provided by those conducting the mission.…”

A recent report of the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery has continued to emphasize the importance of surgery in global health. Plastic surgeons have been involved in humanitarian care of children in developing countries for many years. The ability to repair children with cleft lip and palate in resource-poor settings has made this desirable for many plastic surgeons. A number of philanthropic plastic surgery organizations arose to deal with the problem in a more structured way. Dr. Donald Laub at Stanford established Interplast (now ReSurg) in 1969. Dr. Bill and Kathy Magee established Operation Smile in 1982, and many others have followed. The unifying theme of these organizations has been the desire to provide safe and effective surgical care to children who would otherwise be forced to live out their lives with deformity. Most care has been for children with clefts, but efforts have expanded to include hand surgery and burn reconstruction. The initial effort was provided through surgical missions. A paradigm shift has occurred as sustainability and local capacity have become paramount. Education and training of local colleagues and assistance in surgical safety infrastructure are expanding the reach of plastic surgical care around the globe. The inauguration of in-country permanent surgical centers allows high-volume outcomes research, as well as unique educational collaboration between plastic surgeons of both the developed and developing world.

“…A way to meet this educational obligation is to develop cross-cultural programs that fulfill the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requirements, strengthen professional and problemsolving skills, and offer residents adequate financial support, preparation, and mentorship. [12][13][14][15] Overseas elective rotations expose learners to cultures and diseases not previously seen and provide encounters with common diseases in uncommon environments. Additionally, training in settings with limited resources and technology urges learners to develop problem-solving skills.…”

The globalization of pediatric graduate medical education is ongoing; thus, this study was conducted to begin to explore the nature of resident interest in global health (GH) training and to further identify potentially modifiable factors influencing participation in away rotations. The authors surveyed all residents at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center to identify factors influencing participation in education efforts and away rotations. With a participation rate of 79.4% (n = 143), 5 key factors emerged as most significant in the decision-making process amid all participants. Among residents who had previous experience, 82.1% were interested in participating in an away elective compared with 58.3% of those without experience (P = .002). Residents with previous experience abroad were also more likely to plan to integrate GH into their careers (61.7% vs 26.7%, P < .0001). This article describes specific obstacles to resident participation in GH education and documents the association between previous experience and significant interest in long-term involvement.
