“…The integration of health and trade policies and goals, and the establishment of a formal structure to monitor and develop that policy knowledge, requires substantial input from the economic, international relations, legal, and health communities (68). The health sector's early struggles in this field are at least partly the result of not sufficiently engaging the existing economic, political, and legal frameworks and actors.…”

Twenty-first-century trade policy is complex and affects society and population health in direct and indirect ways. Without doubt, trade policy influences the distribution of power, money, and resources between and within countries, which in turn affects the natural environment; people's daily living conditions; and the local availability, quality, affordability, and desirability of products (e.g., food, tobacco, alcohol, and health care); it also affects individuals' enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health. In this article, we provide an overview of the modern global trade environment, illustrate the pathways between trade and health, and explore the emerging twenty-first-century trade policy landscape and its implications for health and health equity. We conclude with a call for more interdisciplinary research that embraces complexity theory and systems science as well as the political economy of health and that includes monitoring and evaluation of the impact of trade agreements on health.

“…5 Importantly, such partnerships must have a mandate for sustainable capacity building and strengthening of the resources available at the host site, because this can enhance the health and wellbeing of some patients. 7 Ideally, one aspect of such collaborations would be funding for medical trainees and professionals from the host institution to rotate at the US institution , for the promotion of personal and professional development rather than promoting brain-drain. We assert that sending medical students to developing countries for short-term research projects within the context of such partnerships may help to alleviate some of the ethical problems that we discuss below.…”

Abstract. Recent interest in global health among medical students has grown drastically, and many students now spend time abroad conducting short-term research projects in low-resource settings. These short-term stints in developing countries present important ethical challenges to US-based students and their medical schools as well as the institutions that host such students abroad. This paper outlines some of these ethical issues and puts forth recommendations for ethically mindful short-term student research.

“…1 In two papers published in this Bulletin in 2007, we underscored the importance of global health diplomacy, particularly the need to build capacity in this domain within WHO and in WHO's Member States, in line with changes in the global environment. 2,3 During the years that have since transpired, it has become amply clear that health diplomacy is not a transient fashion. In fact, the Global Health Programme 2012, launched by The Graduate Institute in Geneva to promote research and knowledge translation and diffusion, represents a turning point in global health diplomacy training.…”
