Interdisciplinary Curriculum in Global Health Training (INCIGHT)

描述(由申请人提供)：匹兹堡大学的教职员工提议开发一个大学范围内的框架计划，该计划将被指定为全球卫生培训跨学科课程(INCIGHT)计划。INCIGHT项目的总体目标是培养下一代科学家、医生、政策制定者和律师，以跨学科的方式应对全球健康危机。拟议的INCIGHT计划将通过开发三门新的核心课程、一系列研讨会和海外实地考察，整合四所参与学院：公共卫生、医学、公共和国际事务以及法律的全球卫生证书课程。INCIGHT计划预计将培养出高素质的下一代调查人员，他们在公共卫生以及全球卫生的医疗、政策和法律问题方面接受尖端的多学科培训，这些问题对改善世界人口的健康至关重要。INCIGHT计划的实习生将通过合作学校的全球健康相关证书计划参加。他们将从相对较大的符合条件的学生和住院医生/研究员中挑选出来，因为他们的学业成绩很好。将与匹兹堡大学的少数族裔招聘官员合作，特别努力招收任职人数不足的少数族裔参与者。该项目的教师将来自这四所学院，并将根据他们过去在全球卫生领域的研究、培训和服务记录，根据严格的标准进行选择。拟议的新课程包括：全球卫生、全球卫生政策中的关键问题和最重要的课程--将全球卫生教育转化为行动。研讨会的主题将贯穿所有四个参与的学校。INCIGHT计划将在计划主任Phalgeni Gupta博士的领导下进行管理，并在一个由参与全球卫生研究、培训和服务的高级和初级培训教员组成的指导委员会的帮助下进行。拟议的新课程和研讨会将形成必要的粘合剂，将四所学校的证书计划联系在一起，使INCIGHT计划取得成功。此外，INCIGHT计划将加强这些参与学校中参与全球健康的教师和学生之间的互动，同时激发4所学校以外的学生的兴趣，他们可能从未考虑过这一领域，甚至从未意识到它的存在。匹兹堡大学的教职员工提议开发一项大学范围内的全球健康培训跨学科课程(INCIGHT)计划，该计划将通过提供三门新的核心课程、一系列研讨会和海外实地考察，整合四所参与学院：公共卫生、医学、公共和国际事务以及法律的全球健康证书课程。INCIGHT计划预计将培养出高素质的下一代调查人员，他们在公共卫生以及全球卫生的医疗、政策和法律问题方面接受尖端的多学科培训，这些问题对改善世界人口的健康至关重要。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Faculty at the University of Pittsburgh propose to develop a University-wide framework program that will be designated as the Interdisciplinary Curriculum in Global Health Training (INCIGHT) Program. The overall objective of the INCIGHT program is to prepare the next generation of scientists, physicians, policy makers and lawyers to tackle the global health crisis in an interdisciplinary manner. The proposed INCIGHT program will integrate certificate programs in global health from the four participating Schools: Public Health, Medicine, Public and International Affairs, and Law by developing three new core courses, a series of workshops, and field study abroad. The INCIGHT program is expected to produce the next generation of investigators with high quality, cutting edge multidisciplinary training in public health, and the medical, policy and legal issues of global health which are essential to improve the health of the world population. Trainees in the INCIGHT Program will participate through the Global Health-related Certificate Programs of the collaborating Schools. They will be selected from the relatively large pool of eligible students and medical residents/fellows based on their strong academic record. Special efforts will be made to enroll underrepresented minority participants in collaboration with minority recruitment officers at the University of Pittsburgh. Faculty for the program will come from these four Schools and will be selected on strict criteria based on their past record of research, training and service in global health. Proposed new courses include: Critical Issues in Global Health, Global Health Policy and a capstone course, Transforming Global Health Education into Action. Workshop topics will cut across all four participating Schools. The INCIGHT Program will be administered under the leadership of the Program Director, Dr. Phalguni Gupta, with the help of a steering committee composed of senior and junior training faculty who are involved in global health research, training and service. The proposed new courses and the workshops will form the necessary glue to bond the certificate programs at four Schools to make the INCIGHT program successful. Furthermore, the INCIGHT Program will enhance interactions between faculty and students involved in global health in these participating Schools, while stimulating interest among students outside the 4 Schools who might never have considered the field or even been aware of its existence. Faculty at the University of Pittsburgh propose to develop a university wide Interdisciplinary Curriculum in Global Health Training (INCIGHT) program that will integrate certificate programs in global health from the four participating Schools: Public Health, Medicine, Public and International Affairs, and Law by offering three new core courses, a series of workshops, and field study abroad. The INCIGHT program is expected to produce the next generation of investigators with high quality, cutting edge multidisciplinary training in public health, and the medical, policy and legal issues of global health which are essential to improve the health of the world population.
