abstract: 'The common goal of surgical training is to provide effective,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
well-rounded surgeons who are capable of providing a safe and competent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
service that is relevant to the society within which they work. In
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
recent years, the surgical workforce crisis has gained greater attention
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
as a component of the global human resources in health problems in low-
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and middle-income countries. The purpose of this study was to: (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
describe the models for specialist surgical training in Uganda; (2)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
evaluate the pretraining experience of surgical trainees; (3) explore
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
training models in the United States and Canada and areas of possible
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
further inquiry and intervention for capacity-building efforts in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
surgery and perioperative care.
|
|
|

|
This was a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted at Makerere
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
University, College of Health Sciences during 2011-2012. Participants
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
were current and recently graduated surgical residents. Data were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
collected using a pretested structured questionnaire and were entered
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and analyzed using an excel Microsoft spread sheet. The Makerere
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
University, College of Health Sciences Institutional Review Board
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
approved the study.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Of the 35 potential participants, 23 returned the questionnaires (65
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\%). Mean age of participants was 29 years with a male/female ratio of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3:1. All worked predominantly in general district hospitals. Pretraining
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
procedures performed numbered 2,125 per participant, which is twice that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
done by their US and Canadian counterparts during their entire 5-year
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
training period.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A rich pretraining experience exists in East Africa. This should be
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
taken advantage of to enhance surgical specialist training at the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
institution and regional level.'
