Review
Surgical education and global health partnerships have evolved over the years. There is growing recognition of the importance of in-country training of surgeons and surgeon specialists in low-resource settings to support the local health care system. There are numerous ways in which high-income partners can support local training programs. The Human Resources for Health program was initiated in 2012 to advance in-country training of health care professionals in Rwanda. As there was a limited in-country operative experience for teaching general thoracic surgery, simulation models were developed, influenced by a prior course developed for American cardiothoracic trainees. Local Rwandan faculty were engaged. Adaptations from the American version included constructing models from inexpensive materials to make the simulation more feasible in the Rwanda setting.

Review
Training in thoracic surgery has evolved immensely over the past decade due to the advent of integrated programs, technological innovations, and regulations on resident duty hours, decreasing the time trainees have to learn. These changes have made assessment of thoracic surgical trainees even more important. Shifts in medical education have increasingly emphasized competency, which has led to novel competency-based assessment tools for clinical and operative assessment. These novel tools take advantage of simulation and modern technology to provide more frequent and comprehensive assessment of the surgical trainee to ensure competence.
