“…[27][28][29] These fellowships are available in various disciplines, including emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, women's health, and surgery, and frequently involve domestic and international clinical experiences, research opportunities, and graduate-level coursework. [30][31][32] Other postresidency training opportunities are also available for obtaining valuable global health experience.…”

Background Global health is an expansive field, and global health careers are as diverse as the practice of medicine, with new paths being forged every year. Interest in global health among medical students, residents, and fellows has never been higher. As a result, a greater number of these physicians-in-training are participating in global health electives during their training. However, there is a gap between the level of trainee interest and the breadth and depth of educational opportunities that prepare them for a career in global health. Objective Global health experiences can complement and enhance each step of traditional physician training, from medical school through residency and fellowship. Global health experiences can expose trainees to patients with diverse pathologies, improve physical exam skills by decreasing reliance on laboratory tests and imaging, enhance awareness of costs and resource allocation in resource-poor settings, and foster cultural sensitivity. The aim of this article is to describe issues faced by physicians-in-training and the faculty who mentor them as trainees pursue careers in global health. Methods We conducted a narrative review that addresses opportunities and challenges, competing demands on learners' educational schedules, and the need for professional development for faculty mentors. Conclusions A widening gap between trainee interest and the available educational opportunities in global health may result in many medical students and residents participating in global health experiences without adequate preparation and mentorship. Without this essential support, global health training experiences may have detrimental consequences on both trainees and the communities hosting them. We discuss considerations at each training level, options for additional training, current career models in global health, and challenges and potential solutions during training and early career development.

“…Some medical specialties have addressed this challenge by incorporating GHO experiences into their training programs [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. For example, emergency medicine has created curriculum guidelines for board-approved global health fellowship training [17,19]. A recent survey of fellowship training participants showed that after fellowship these physicians tended to remain in academic medicine and contribute to both research and service in low and middleincome countries [19].…”

“…Data on program development and evaluation of resident interest originates primarily from the medical specialty areas of internal medicine [12], surgery [5,[13][14][15][16], emergency medicine [17][18][19], family medicine [20][21][22], and pediatrics [23]. Only one report on the development of a multidisciplinary (ie, emergency medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, and combined medicine-pediatrics) global health residency track is available [24].…”

Our response to a global trend toward improvement in PEM care was the development of the first combined PEM-GH fellowship program. Recognizing the value of this program within our own institution, we now offer it as a model for building such programs in the future. This fellowship program promises to be a paradigm that can be used nationally and internationally, and it establishes a foundation for a full-fledged accredited and certified subspecialty.
