“…Far from the sporadic and independently arranged electives seen even 10 years ago, many residents today are able to follow in the footsteps of their predecessors. There are numerous reflections of individual rotations [13][14][15], descriptions of benefits and challenges [3,11,16], and even prescriptive guidance about designing an ideal international radiology elective [2,17,18]. Many institutions, by consistently sending trainees and faculty members, have built lasting connections to the mutual benefit of all involved.…”

“…The principal educational challenge is how to best make these rotations productive as training experiences for the residents. The RAD-AID chapters at Emory University and New York-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center have implemented models of international elective rotations in their residency programs, located primarily in Ethiopia at the time of this writing [6,7]. RAD-AID adds resources to elective residency rotations via grants, technology and PACS support, project guidance, and educational materials, to maximize the impact of residents working in underserved areas.…”

Radiology in low- and middle-income (developing) countries continues to make progress. Research and international outreach projects presented at the 2015 annual RAD-AID conference emphasize important global themes, including (1) recent slowing of emerging market growth that threatens to constrain the advance of radiology, (2) increasing global noncommunicable diseases (such as cancer and cardiovascular disease) needing radiology for detection and management, (3) strategic prioritization for pediatric radiology in global public health initiatives, (4) continuous expansion of global health curricula at radiology residencies and the RAD-AID Chapter Network's participating institutions, and (5) technologic innovation for recently accelerated implementation of PACS in low-resource countries.

“…1,2 Global health electives and tracks have been developed to meet the needs of residents in graduate medical education across multiple disciplines. [3][4][5][6][7][8] These opportunities may help prepare residents for the challenges of a rapidly changing world. 9 For global health partnerships to be considered equitable, reciprocal learning opportunities for faculty and trainees from the resource-limited institution can be made available in the resource-rich institution.…”

Background Global health programs that allow international experiences for US learners should also enable reciprocal learning experiences for international learners, particularly if that is a need identified by the partner institution. Methods A partnership between Indiana University and Moi University, Kenya, has successfully hosted 41 visiting Kenyan internal medicine and pediatrics registrars at Indiana University since 2006. The program's logistics, curriculum, and evaluation are described. Results The registrars rotated through nephrology, cardiology, hematology and oncology, infectious diseases, and intensive care, as well as related ambulatory experiences, functioning on a level comparable to fourth-year medical students. They showed significant improvement in pretest and posttest scores on a standardized National Board of Medical Examiners examination (P = .048). International learners experienced culture shock, yet they felt the Indiana University elective was helpful and would recommend it to future participants. Conclusions Global health programs can reciprocate the benefits derived for US students and residents by offering learning experiences to international learners if that is an expressed need from the international partner. Barriers to those experiences can be overcome, and the hands-on, elective experience has the potential to positively affect the knowledge and attitudes of participants as well as the home nation.
