Advanced Institute on Global Healthcare Education

在过去的几十年里，工程和计算创新极大地促进和推进了科学发现。这些进步还提高了医疗保健的质量并降低了成本，并激发了诸如精准医学和大脑研究等新的研究领域，同时也表明需要加强医学、生物学、工程学和计算机科学研究人员之间的协同与合作，以进一步推动这些领域的新技术。这些进展还指出，迫切需要考虑新的教育方向，将生物医学研究、工程和科学概念转化为临床研究，并为培养下一代全球医疗保健劳动力制定新的课程。全球卫生保健教育高级研究所旨在强调这些关键新兴领域的需求，并将汇集30多名国家和国际专家，讨论这些技术的最新进展，包括大脑倡议、精准医学、计算医学和卫生信息学，以及它们对社会的影响，以及为培养高素质、未来的技术劳动力，能够充分解决这些新兴领域的跨学科需求。为期3天的高级研究所将为科学家、研究人员和教育工作者提供一个独特的平台，专注于转化研究、工程和科学创新和创业，以及工程和科学教育范式转变的需求，以支持尖端医疗技术。第二部分——美国国家工程院在美国科学促进会年会上宣布了14项重大工程挑战。委员会还强调了生物医学和生物工程的重要性，以及医学、生物学、工程学和计算机科学研究人员之间加强协同与合作的必要性，以进一步推进新技术，改善个性化医疗保健。这14项挑战包括：对大脑进行逆向工程、设计更好的药物和推进健康信息学。在过去的几十年里，工程和计算创新极大地促进和推进了科学发现。这些创新不仅影响了我们的日常生活，还提高了医疗质量，降低了医疗成本。这些科学发现和知识带来了医疗保健的新概念，这要求为新一代医疗保健培养高素质的新一代劳动力，他们对医学、工程和科学概念有全面的了解，并精通上述领域的所有相关方面。这也要求将新概念转化为修改后的科学和工程课程以及生物医学研究。为期3天的全球医疗保健教育高级研究所的主要目标是汇集30多位国家和国际专家，讨论这些新兴兴趣和创新的最新技术，包括如何将科学、工程、技术和医学领域的最新进展转化为尖端课程，以培养未来技术合格的医疗保健劳动力。该研究所每年举办研讨会，提供一个独特的多学科论坛，讨论新兴的医疗保健研究、挑战和机遇，并进行了非常富有成效的讨论和翔实的报告。为了解决前几次研讨会报告中确定的需求，今年的重点将放在这些新兴领域的新教育方向上。

PART I- Engineering and computational innovations have significantly promoted and advanced scientific discoveries over the last few decades. These advancements have also increased the quality and reduced the cost of healthcare, and inspired new research areas such as, precision medicine and study of the brain, also revealing the need for an increased synergy and cooperation between researchers in medicine, biology, engineering, and computer science to further fuel new technologies in those areas. The advancements also point out the urgent need for the consideration of new education directions to translate the biomedical research and engineering and science concepts into clinical research, and new curricula for the preparation of the next generation global healthcare workforce. The Advanced Study Institute on Global Healthcare Education aims to accentuate the needs of these critical emerging areas, and will bring together over 30 national and international experts to discuss the state-of-the art in these technologies including, brain initiatives, precision medicine, computational medicine, and health informatics, as well as their influences on society, and specific education requirements to prepare the highly qualified, technical workforce of the future that can adequately address the interdisciplinary needs of these emerging areas. The 3-day advanced institute will provide a unique platform for scientists, researchers, and educators to focus on translational research, engineering and science innovations and entrepreneurship, as well as the need for a paradigm shift in engineering and science education to support the cutting-edge medical technologies. PART II- The National Academy of Engineering announced the 14 Grand Challenges for Engineering at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The committee also emphasized the importance of biomedical and biological engineering, and the need for an increased synergy and cooperation between researchers in medicine, biology, engineering, and computer science to further advance new technologies for improved, personalized healthcare. Included among these 14 challenges were: Reverse Engineer the Brain, Engineer better Medicines and Advance Health Informatics. Engineering and computational innovations have significantly promoted and advanced scientific discoveries over the last few decades. These innovations have not only impacted our daily lives, but have also increased quality and reduced the cost of healthcare. These scientific discoveries and knowledge have led to a new concept in healthcare, one that calls for the preparation of a new generation of a highly qualified workforce that has a well-rounded understanding of medical, engineering and science concepts, and is well versed in all the relevant aspects of the above mentioned areas for the new generation healthcare. This also calls for the translation of the new concept into modified science and engineering curricula, and biomedical research. The main objective of the 3-day Advanced Institute on Global Healthcare Education is to bring together over 30 national and international experts to discuss the state-of-the art in these emerging interests and innovations, including how the latest advances in the areas of science, engineering, technology and medicine, can be translated into cutting-edge curricula to prepare the technically qualified healthcare workforce of the future. The institute has hosted annual workshops providing a unique, multidisciplinary forum to discuss emerging healthcare research, challenges and opportunities, and has yielded very fruitful discussions and informative reports. To address the need identified in the previous workshop reports, this year the focus will be on novel educational directions in these emerging areas.
