Abstract
Task shifting is used to augment the global surgical, obstetric, and anesthetic workforce across all geographic regions and income groups. Associate clinicians are ubiquitous among the global surgical workforce and should be considered in plans to scale up the surgical workforce. Further research is required to assess outcomes, especially in low-income and middle-income countries where documented supervision is less robust.
