Benefit | Quotations from interviews |
---|---|
Knowledge sharing about EM systems and practice | ‘Learning about how another system works in different countries is great and it makes you think about your own system, its administration, and what advantages new technology can bring’. |
Medical knowledge transfer | ‘A visiting resident taught us how to start central lines with ultrasound guidance. Now several of us use ultrasound whenever possible to start our central lines’. |
Long-term relationship formation | ‘My department maintains contact with the physicians who have worked here from around the world. Over time we have built a network that produces research projects and future exchanges’. |
