METHODS: Surveys were distributed to North American orthopaedic surgeons and trainees who participated in international rotations during residency to assess motivations for participation and to orthopaedic surgeons at partnering low- and middle-income country (LMIC) institutions to assess impact of visiting trainees. RESULTS: Responses were received from 136 North American resident rotators and 51 LMIC host surgeons and trainees. North American respondents were motivated by a desire to increase surgical capacity at the LMIC while host surgeons reported a greater impact from learning from residents than on surgical capacity. Negative aspects reported by hosts included selfishness, lack of reciprocity, racial discrimination, competition for surgical experience, and resource burdens. CONCLUSIONS: The motivations and impact of orthopaedic resident rotations in LMICs need to be aligned. Host perceptions and bidirectional educational exchange should be incorporated into partnership guidelines.<p> Collaboration 2 30518 document-rn25409 American Journal of Surgery public Education, Medical Surgery Motivations and impact of international rotations in low- and middle-income countries for orthopaedic surgery residents: are we on the same page? 2022-02-21T22:48:57.408-06:00 Motivation Orthopedics 221 18089 Questionnaires 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2020.08.046
