Abstract
Purpose of review: There is a great deal of interest in global health at all levels of educational attainment. Many residency programs wish to offer a global health opportunity (GHO) but lack the resources to create one de novo. This review will look at the prevalence of global health education in residency and consider the fellowships available. It will summarize the existing recommendations about a curriculum in global health and how best to prepare trainees for a GHO.
Recent findings: While approximately 45% of residency programs make GHOs available to their residents, there is a lack of standardization of curriculum. Logistical and ethical challenges, funding, and the lack of international partners are all barriers to offering a GHO. Residents and fellows can benefit from a GHO as it helps achieve their ACGME core competencies, among other benefits.
Summary: We make the recommendation for more robust training and education with the investment of fewer resources by aligning with existing global health participation opportunities. We also recommend the use of the Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) which provided curriculum for creating a context in global health for trainees regardless of discipline.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to offer expert review articles on the most significant recent developments in the field of anesthesiology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions, the journal intends to serve those involved in the delivery of anesthesia for surgical and medical procedures, treatment of acute and chronic pain conditions, perioperative management for operative and intensive care unit patients, and associated basic science and clinical research efforts in their areas. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An Editorial Board of more than 20 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, ensures that topics include emerging research, and suggests topics of special importance to their country/region. Topics covered may include ambulatory anesthesia; anesthesia and inflammation; anesthetic mechanisms; anesthetic pharmacology; cardiovascular anesthesia; critical care anesthesia; local anesthetic pharmacology; monitoring technology; neuroanesthesia; neuromuscular blockade; obstetrical anesthesia; pain mechanisms; pain therapy; patient safety; pediatric anesthesia; quality assessment; regional anesthesia; and transplantation anesthesia.
