There is a significant need for basic surgical care worldwide. In recent years, modest improvement in fulfilling this demand has been achieved through international medical mission trips from various organizations. These humanitarian endeavors and global health experiences have generated increasing interest in participating in international missions from surgical residents. However, many academic institutions currently do not have the infrastructure or desire to support surgical residents participating in medical missions. This paper aims to illustrate that careful, planned integration of medical mission trips into the residency curriculum will develop and enhance resident education and experience by fulfilling all six Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) core competencies and by benefitting the native program.
全球对基础外科护理有巨大需求。近年来，通过各组织开展的国际医疗任务之旅，在满足这一需求方面取得了一定进展。这些人道主义努力和全球健康经历引发了外科住院医师对参与国际任务的兴趣日益浓厚。然而，目前许多学术机构没有基础设施或意愿来支持外科住院医师参与医疗任务。本文旨在说明，将医疗任务之旅精心、有计划地融入住院医师课程，将通过满足研究生医学教育认证委员会（ACGME）的所有六项核心能力要求并使本土项目受益，来发展和提升住院医师的教育及经验。
