Exploring Barriers and Facilitators to Incorporating New Practices and Innovations in the Pediatric Perioperative Ecosystem in Sub‐Saharan Africa: A Mixed Methods Study
Fellows experience significant challenges when attempting to implement changes based on the knowledge and skills acquired during advanced training. Facilitators enabling successful change implementation exist. Including training in leadership and change management in fellowship programs may better prepare those from sub-Saharan Africa to introduce their envisioned improvements to the perioperative environment upon their return.
