Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Surgical Education
  • Interdisciplinary Studies

Background:

  • Global surgical care is a growing focus in global health, requiring collaboration across disciplines.
  • Many healthcare professionals and faculty lack comprehensive knowledge of global surgical care.
  • There is a recognized need for educational initiatives to address this knowledge gap.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate an interdisciplinary graduate-level course in Global Surgical Care.
  • To assess the impact of the course on students' understanding of global health and surgery.
  • To determine changes in students' perception of surgery's importance in the global health agenda.

Main Methods:

  • An interdisciplinary graduate-level course was conducted, incorporating didactics and interactive group learning.
  • Students completed pre- and post-course surveys to assess learning experiences and knowledge.
  • Data analysis utilized the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to compare survey results.

Main Results:

  • Student understanding of global health, global surgery, and challenges faced by the underserved significantly improved (p < 0.05).
  • The perceived importance of surgery in global health increased, with more students strongly agreeing it's indispensable post-course.
  • The course fostered collaborative problem-solving skills through its interactive, team-based approach.

Conclusions:

  • An interdisciplinary global surgery course effectively enhances students' core knowledge and perspectives on global surgical care.
  • Such educational programs are vital for training clinicians and stakeholders in developing robust global surgical systems.
  • The course demonstrated the value of integrating didactics with team-based projects for impactful surgical education.
