International Rotations
STSI aims to find a way that international collaboratives for surgical education could support bidirectional exchange of not only medical students, but also surgical trainees.

Many studies have documented the value of international rotations to American medical trainees. Surgical residency programs may now incorporate international surgical rotations into their curricula. We surveyed non-US surgical residency program directors and residents to see if sending US surgical residents to other countries can benefit not only the US residents, but also the residents in the host programs.
