Evaluating the “McMUST” global learning partnership: resident insights on knowledge exchange to enhance learning in postgraduate medical education

The consistently high satisfaction ratings across multiple visits indicate that the global learning partnership between MUST and McMaster University has been successful in providing an enriching learning experience for residents participating in collaborative clinical work and learning of psychiatry in Uganda. Despite many positive findings, our partnership was not immune to some of the equity-related problems that have been documented in the literature. Going forward, advocacy efforts to gather resources that will allow for bidirectional travel for residents will be essential. Our findings also highlight opportunities to evaluate impact longitudinally, especially on participants' clinical practice and patient outcomes.

Abstract

The consistently high satisfaction ratings across multiple visits indicate that the global learning partnership between MUST and McMaster University has been successful in providing an enriching learning experience for residents participating in collaborative clinical work and learning of psychiatry in Uganda. Despite many positive findings, our partnership was not immune to some of the equity-related problems that have been documented in the literature. Going forward, advocacy efforts to gather resources that will allow for bidirectional travel for residents will be essential. Our findings also highlight opportunities to evaluate impact longitudinally, especially on participants' clinical practice and patient outcomes.
