Who’s Training Tomorrow’s Pediatric Surgeons? A Global Review of Pediatric Surgery Postgraduate Training Programs in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

However, access to pediatric surgical care and trained specialists remains limited. Mapping existing pediatric surgery training programs in LMICs may guide trainees seeking education and inform global surgery efforts to build capacity.
