在世界人口增长和移徙的背景下，全球健康问题对国内情况和我们的医生产生了越来越大的影响。作者提出的问题是：全球健康究竟是什么构成的，美国和加拿大的医科学生或从业人员需要了解多少？为了解决这一问题，作者召集了美国热带医学和卫生协会医学教育委员会，寻求全球健康教育联盟的意见，并调查了美国热带临床医学和旅行者健康委员会的成员，以确定热带医学领域的教育重点。从这些来源获得的信息被提炼成全球健康能力的三个领域，作者建议每个医学院的课程都应该努力为所有学生实现：全球疾病负担、旅行医学和移民健康。作者在这里提出了改变课程的基本原理，包括这三个主题，作为医学教育者讨论的起点。
In the setting of world population growth and migration, global health issues have an increasing impact on domestic conditions and our medical practitioners. The authors ask: What exactly constitutes global health, and how much do U.S. and Canadian medical students or practitioners need to know about it? To address this topic, the authors convened an American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene Committee on Medical Education, sought input from the Global Health Education Consortium, and surveyed members of the American Committee on Clinical Tropical Medicine and Travelers' Health for educational priorities within the tropical medicine field. The information gained from these sources has been distilled into three domains of global health competency that the authors propose each medical school curriculum should try to achieve for all students: global burden of disease, traveler's medicine, and immigrant health. The authors present here the rationale for altering curricula to include these three topics as a starting point for discussion among medical educators.
