Introduction Short Term Experiences in Global Health (STEGHs) are a popular and well-acknowledged valuable component of medical education. Thirty-one percent of United States (US) medical students graduating in 2015 had a global health experience during medical school, up from 15% in 1998 [1]. A growing number of trainees in U.S. residency programs are interested in global health as well, prompting an increase in global health education and international opportunities during postgraduate training [2-5]. However, there are significantly fewer opportunities for trainees from low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) to travel to clinical sites other than their own compared to the opportunities for trainees from North America [6-10]. Moreover, when providers from low-and middle-income countries do have clinical experiences in the US, they are typically limited to observation, unlike the frequent hands-on learning when the situation is reversed [38]. "Global health" can be both all-encompassing and vague. Consistent with the Alma Ata declaration, we use "global health" to mean health for all, regardless of location or ethnicity [39]. Global health may or may not include aspects of international medicine, tropical medicine, and public health, but must include a focus on the wellbeing of all aspects of the human experience (physical, social, environmental, spiritual) and be concerned with how health is achieved, with an emphasis on social determinants of health, health disparities, and transnational health solutions [40]. "Global health experiences" in our academic context indicate a dedicated focus on the health of a population different from one's usual setting. For North American (NA) trainees, "global health" rotations, therefore, are typically in a low-income setting-either domestic or international. For trainees from low-and middleincome countries, "global health" electives indicate an experience either in a different low-income setting or in a higher-income setting such as NA or Europe.
