The ASA-GHO Resident International Anesthesia Scholarship in Ethiopia

established at the Cure Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. American anesthesiology residents increasingly seek to understand, and wish to practice, anesthesiology in less resourceintensive environments outside the borders of the United States. McCunn et al.1 performed a survey of U.S. anesthesiology residents and noted that 91 percent of those surveyed indicated an interest in global health outreach despite the fact that fewer than half had participated in a global health outreach medical mission. More recently, another survey demonstrated that at least 47 percent of first-year residents entering into an anesthesiology residency this past year plan on incorporating global health work into their practice following residency (Dr. Faye Evans, personal communication). In order to respond to this trend, the Committee on Global Humanitarian Outreach (GHO) (April 2014 meeting) discussed approaches that would facilitate resident rotations in developing countries. The obstacles for resident participation include identifying suitable sites and countries as well as ensuring that ABA and ACGME credit will be granted through appropriate on-site supervision of these rotations. Dr. Berend Mets had traveled to Ethiopia, which at one time had been a site for Society for Education in Anesthesia-Health Volunteers Overseas (SEA-HVO) fellowship recipients. The location was unfortunately discontinued because of the inability to ensure appropriate faculty oversight. Dr. Elizabeth Drum had also traveled to Ethiopia (10 times) with Healing the Children, a U.S.-based NGO. Over the intervening years, Dr. Drum has developed relationships with local surgeons and hospitals, and especially with the Cure Hospital in Addis Ababa, one of the facilities supported by Cure International, based in Pennsylvania. Dr. Mary Bernard, a U.S. board-certified anesthesiologist, serves as the Cure Hospital anesthesiologist-in-chief as well as its medical director. In this capacity, Dr. Bernard oversees the medical and surgical care at Cure Hospital and also participates in educational programs for Ethiopian anesthesia residents and master’s in nursing anesthesia students under the auspices of Addis Ababa University. While Cure Ethiopia does have many visiting teams during the year, Dr. Bernard and the anesthetists on staff at Cure provide the bulk of the education and clinical care.
