Resident Rotations in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Motivations, Impact, and Host Perspectives.

This study synthesizes the available literature on HIC surgical resident motivations for and impact of rotating in LMICs and the LMIC host perception of collaboration. Three improvement categories emerged: that residents (1) receive before departure, (2) long enough to develop site-specific skills, and (3) and . Specific suggestions based on synthesized data are offered for each concept and can serve as a foundation for mutually beneficial international electives in LMICs for HIC orthopaedic trainees.
