International medical training.

Health care personnel (HCP) from developing nations are seeking to increase their knowledge and skills in other countries. Improved health care in developing parts of the world makes long periods of training abroad less necessary. HCP who train abroad for a year or even less return to their homes and practice new skills. Eighty percent of those who stay abroad three years or more do not return to their native country. Specialists from developed nations teaching for months or years improve health care in developing areas more quickly than individual HCP training abroad.
