Abstract
Any orthopedic outreach situation in a resource-limited environment provides a number of opportunities for teaching, and few of them require the volunteer to be an academic or have a computer full of PowerPoint presentations. The wards, OPD, and operating rooms are great venues not only for teaching but are opportunities to better understand the local surgical problems and the barriers faced at all levels in delivering orthopedic care. The audience includes not just surgeons and residents but also nurses and techs and even the cleaners. In some countries nursing is a step to medical school, and in his home village, the ward cleaner is the local doctor (Fig. 6.1).
