The significance and reflection on offering the course Tropical Diseases and Global Health in the long-term clinical medicine program
The rapid development of globalization,industrialization,and information intelligence had a profound impact on human health.Most of these impacts are transcending regional or national boundaries and requiring collaborative efforts from countries worldwide.Therefore,the globalization of health,known as"Global Health"has become a common challenge for human beings.To adapt to this challenge,an increasing number of medical schools around the world have proposed incorporating"Global Health"into medical education.In China,long-term clinical medicine education aims to cultivate outstanding doctors who can participate in international competition and lead the future development of medicine.Different from regular five-year clinical medicine education,long-term clinical medicine education has higher requirements for"internationalization,high-level,and innovation"in talent cultivation and requires the ability to understand core issues and concepts of global health.Therefore,in order to meet the trend of future globalized healthcare and cultivate high-quality medical professionals with an international perspective and the ability to address important complex issues in global governance,Zhongshan School of Medine,Sun Yat-sen University set up the course of Tropical Diseases and Global Health in our long-term clinical medicine program.This article summarizes three years of experience and practice in offering this course at our institution,discussing the importance,necessity,and current challenges faced in implementing global health education in the long-term clinical medicine program.The aim of this article is to further optimize the course and provide reference for the development of similar courses in other institutions.
