Cognitive Apprenticeship Appropriate Surgical Education for Countries
with Limited Resources by Lowell L Lewis and Nicholas A Kerna* in Crimson
Publishers: Surgery Open Access Journal
The
role of surgical education in the prevention and management of surgical
disorders remains an important topic for study. In the absence of sufficient
resources, developing countries struggle to meet the growing demands for
adequate surgical services. People living in remote and underdeveloped areas,
lacking modern medical facilities, are at significant risk for increased
morbidity and mortality. To ameliorate this dilemma requires the identification
and implementation of educational programs and curricula that provide training
and experience that can be provided in remote communities. Governments of
countries with limited resources must identify, retain, and develop methods of
surgical practice and education that will result in adequate care to surgical
patients,
particularly those living in remote communities who do not have access to
current standards of care. The primary objective of this paper is to document
and share educational and management activities that may have a constructive
impact on lessening the global burden of diseases and conditions requiring
surgery; also, in promoting a surgical care approach that is affordable and can
be applied in various ways to obtain favorable results in countries with
limited resources.
