C OVID-19 has disrupted in-person medical training worldwide. Although there has been a discussion of innovative educational solutions for high-income country (HIC) trainees This is problematic because there is already a shortage of trained medical professionals in LMICs Additionally, this shortage is felt most acutely in surgery and anesthesia.
