The authors describe a multiinstitutional collaborative project to address a gap in global health training by creating a free online platform to share a curriculum for performing procedures in resource-limited settings. This curriculum called PEARLS (Procedural Education for Adaptation to Resource-Limited Settings) consists of peer-reviewed instructional and demonstration videos describing modifications for performing common pediatric procedures in resource-limited settings. Adaptations range from the creation of a low-cost spacer for inhaled medications to a suction chamber for continued evacuation of a chest tube. By describing the collaborative process, we provide a model for educators in other fields to collate and disseminate procedural modifications adapted for their own specialty and location, ideally expanding this crowd-sourced curriculum to reach a wide audience of trainees and providers in global health.
作者们描述了一个多机构合作项目，旨在通过创建一个免费在线平台来分享在资源有限环境中实施手术的课程，以弥补全球健康培训方面的差距。这个名为PEARLS（适应资源有限环境的程序教育）的课程包括经过同行评审的教学和示范视频，描述了在资源有限环境中实施常见儿科手术的改进方法。改进范围从为吸入药物创建低成本间隔器到用于持续排出胸管的吸引腔。通过描述合作过程，我们为其他领域的教育工作者提供了一个模型，以整理和传播适用于其自身专业和地点的手术改进方法，理想情况下，将这一众包课程扩展到全球健康领域的广大受训人员和提供者群体。
