We surveyed neurologists who completed a global health experience as residents or fellows to assess the impact of the experience. A total of 100% (n = 72) would recommend the experience to others. Most reported improved clinical (86%) and examination (82%) skills. All gained an understanding of different health care systems, and 83% reported deeper commitment to underserved populations. A total of 41 participants (57%) reported more judicious use of resources upon return to the United States. Global health electives had a positive impact on neurology trainees. More attention to the host country perspective and predeparture training may help inform program structure and participant expectations in the future. ANN NEUROL 2021;89:851-855.
我们调查了完成全球健康体验的住院医师和研究员神经科医生，以评估该体验的影响。共有 100%（n = 72）的人会向他人推荐该体验。大多数人报告说他们的临床（86%）和检查（82%）技能有所提高。所有人都对不同的医疗保健系统有了了解，83%的人表示对服务不足的人群更加投入。共有 41 名参与者（57%）报告说，返回美国后他们更明智地使用了资源。全球健康选修课程对神经科住院医师产生了积极影响。更多地关注东道国的观点和出发前的培训可能有助于为未来的项目结构和参与者期望提供信息。神经病学年鉴 2021；89：851-855。
