全球化已经成为影响高等教育的重要力量。然而，人们很少注意到高等教育全球化对学生健康的影响，无论是积极的还是消极的。我们研究了全球化医疗保健对大学生健康的好处和挑战的观点的适用性。具体来说，我们的问题是：(1)国际卫生保健资源是否充分满足在本国以外生活和学习的青少年的需求？(2)西方医学框架是否被强加于非西方文化？(3)学生健康法规、最佳实践和政策能否在国际层面上实施？我们以适度的建议来结束每一节。我们希望这篇文章能够开启一场对话，扩大研究范围，拓宽高等教育全球化的视角，为学生、大学和为他们服务的医疗保健提供者带来好处。
Abstract Globalization has become a major force in higher education. Yet, far too little attention has been paid to the effects of the globalization of higher education, whether positive or adverse, on student health. We examine the applicability of the perspectives on the benefits and challenges of globalized healthcare to university student health. Specifically, we question: (1) Do the international healthcare resources adequately meet the needs of adolescents who are living and studying outside their home country? (2) Is a Western framework of medicine being imposed on non-Western cultures? (3) Can student health regulations, best practices, and policies be implemented at an international level? We conclude each section with modest proposals. Our hope is that this article will start the conversation that will expand the research and broaden the perspectives on the globalization of higher education for the benefit of students and the universities and healthcare providers that serve them.
