An important consideration is, 'Does the level of trainees' exposure to chronic disease matter?' Authors and commentators certainly think so [ 20, 31].
While many studies were observational in nature and did not provide control groups, several demonstrated benefits of medical trainees' exposure to GH education.
Orientation offers networking opportunities with attending mentors and other trainees, exposure to multiple NIH global health programs and scientists, and introductory training in quantitative and qualitative research methods (19 contact hours in the July 2014 orientation).
Contemporary research on the patient-mix of trainees is very limited, but a study from the Netherlands suggests that trainees' exposure to chronic disease cases is greater for more senior trainees [ 19, 20] and that trainees see less chronic disease presentations than their trainers [ 20].
Limited evidence from the United Kingdom suggests that EWTD is adversely affecting trainee operative exposure in general surgery [ 7, 32] and also orthopaedics [ 9].
This may be related to the current general reduction in working experience for doctors; the requirement to reduce working hours in Europe, North America, and Australasia 1 3 has diminished considerably the trainee's exposure to both common and less frequently encountered surgical conditions.
Field-based training though service-learning in diverse communities provided trainees with exposure to experiences that were viewed as instrumental in their understanding of social justice in general and as it applies to school psychology.
The goal of residency programs is to provide trainees with exposure to all aspects of their chosen field so that they exit the program ready to be independent practitioners.
Then, because I am involved in a lot of nontraditional activities, such as science policy and training networks with many different partners, my trainees get exposure to other things that they could do just by knowing what I'm up to.
