There has been increased focus on global surgery in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) since the Lancet commission on global surgery was published in 2015. Interest from surgical trainees in overseas placements during their training is high with a number of motivating factors to engage in overseas work. In this article, we outline the overseas experience of a UK-based orthopaedic trainee during their time out of training in Malawi from both the trainee and training program director perspectives. Overseas LMIC placements during orthopaedic training are encouragingly becoming more established and are supported by a growing body of literature showing widespread benefits to the individual volunteer, donor and host institutions.
自 2015 年《柳叶刀全球外科学委员会》发布以来，人们对中低收入国家（LMICs）的全球外科学日益关注。外科实习医生在培训期间对海外实习的兴趣很高，有许多激励因素促使他们参与海外工作。在本文中，我们从实习医生和培训项目主管的角度概述了一名英国骨科实习医生在马拉维培训期间的海外经历。在骨科培训期间到海外的中低收入国家进行实习的做法正逐渐得到更多的认可，越来越多的文献表明，这对个人志愿者、捐赠者和所在机构都有广泛的好处，为这种做法提供了支持。
