SAGES Stories Episode 34 – Grace Kim, MD and Linda Zhang, MD
Q: What should a young surgeon do to get involved in global surgery beyond a one-week mission?
Join a global surgery committee, seek ACS/hope clinical experiences to understand local contexts, and build longitudinal relationships that sustain engagement beyond a single trip.

Q: How long does it typically take for a surgeon to become proficient through these programs?
The All Safe pathway generally takes about a year on the platform, with progression through basic tasks to more complex skill sets, followed by practical exposure and ongoing mentorship to build independence.

Q: What safeguards do you put in place to ensure patient safety and trainee safety when operating in austere environments?
We rely on the local surgeon's responsibility and credentialing, use teleproctoring as an additional safeguard, emphasize conversion to open when needed, and employ robust peer review and AI-based assessment to monitor technique and safety.
