Participants reported that many different academic fields involved in global surgery work are not engaged collaboratively. They felt that ISTCs could be significantly enhanced by interdisciplinary involvement. Participants mentioned the need to think broadly about different disciplines involved in surgical work and to apply those same components to ISTCs. “Part of it is to engage communities that are in siloes that don’t often engage in these things together. The other part of it is to start coming up with a shared language, perspective, and attitude towards international engagement.” –Medical Education Researcher, Canada
