“…The most commonly identified needs by respondents included funding, administrative support, availability of sustainable international partnerships, sharing of curricular [13][14][15][16][17][18] The importance of these aspects of GH training are underscored through the emerging literature on best practices for developing ethical, sustainable, and educationally robust GH training experiences, 16,[19][20][21][22][23][24] which include the provision of adequate preparation and orientation before the resident embarks, along with adequate supervision during the experience. Such elements are requisite for programs sending residents overseas, and programs should establish partnerships with institutions, communities, and programs having shared goals, measureable outcomes, parity, and reciprocity.…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Despite the growing importance of global health (GH) training for pediatric residents, few mechanisms have cataloged GH educational opportunities offered by US pediatric residency programs. We sought to characterize GH education opportunities across pediatric residency programs and identify program characteristics associated with key GH education elements.METHODS: Data on program and GH training characteristics were sought from program directors or their delegates of all US pediatric residency programs during 2013 to 2014. These data were used to compare programs with and without a GH track as well as across small, medium, and large programs. Program characteristics associated with the presence of key educational elements were identified by using bivariate logistic regression.RESULTS: Data were collected from 198 of 199 active US pediatric residency programs (99.5%). Seven percent of pediatric trainees went abroad during 2013 to 2014. Forty-nine programs (24.7%) reported having a GH track, 66.1% had a faculty lead, 58.1% offered international field experiences, and 48.5% offered domestic field experiences. Forty-two percent of programs reported international partnerships across 153 countries. Larger programs, those with lead faculty, GH tracks, or partnerships had significantly increased odds of having each GH educational element, including pretravel preparation. CONCLUSIONS:The number of pediatric residency programs offering GH training opportunities continues to rise. However, smaller programs and those without tracks, lead faculty, or formal partnerships lag behind with organized GH curricula. As GH becomes an integral component of pediatric training, a heightened commitment is needed to ensure consistency of training experiences that encompass best practices in all programs. WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT:In response to growing demand from trainees, many pediatric residency programs offer global health (GH) experiences for their residents. There is diversity in what is offered at programs across the country. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:This is the most comprehensive assessment of US pediatric residency training opportunities in GH. These opportunities are prevalent and increasingly formalized as tracks. However there remain gaps in universal pretravel preparation and coordination across GH partnerships nationally.

“…Our study aims to bring light to the burgeoning interest in GHE in order to help raise awareness and promote the cause of funding these programs. However, the need for constant evaluation and advances of all these factors is critical to successful implementation (Howard, Gladding, Kiguli, Andrews, & John, 2011;Suchdev et al).…”

“…6 Simultaneously, there have been increasing efforts to integrate best practices for GH programs at academic institutions, specifically focusing on educational objectives, ethical engagement of learners and institutions, and the development of sustainable partnerships. Conceptual frameworks for educational outcomes 14 and competency-based curricula [15][16][17][18] now exist to guide developing GH programs.…”

To meet the demand by residents and to provide knowledge and skills important to the developing physician, global health (GH) training opportunities are increasingly being developed by United States (U.S.) residency training programs. However, many residency programs face common challenges of developing GH curricula, offering safe and mentored international rotations, and creating GH experiences that are of service to resource-limiting settings. Academic GH partnerships allow for the opportunity to collaborate on education and research and improve health care and health systems, but must ensure mutual benefit to U.S. and international partners. This article provides guidance for incorporating GH education into U.S. residency programs in an ethically sound and sustainable manner, and gives examples and solutions for common challenges encountered when developing GH education programs.
