Anesthesiology training in various countries vary a lot in structure, manpower, duration, budget, material, and equipment. Training at home results in better understanding of local problems. Anesthesiologists in developing countries have to adapt and endure the challenge of training abroad. The results are knowledges in anesthesia, new techniques and equipment, new contacts and understanding of other way of life. But many countries have lost their anesthesiologists from emigration. Training abroad is useful only when the trainees bring the knowledge back home and help their countrymen.
