Interdisciplinary Curriculum in Global Health Training (INCIGHT)

描述（由申请人提供）：匹兹堡大学的教师提议制定一个全校范围的框架计划，该计划将被指定为全球健康培训跨学科课程（INCIGHT）计划。INCIGHT方案的总体目标是培养下一代科学家、医生、决策者和律师，以跨学科的方式处理全球卫生危机。拟议的INCIGHT项目将通过开发三门新的核心课程、一系列讲习班和海外实地考察，整合公共卫生、医学、公共与国际事务以及法律等四所参与学院的全球卫生证书课程。INCIGHT计划预计将在公共卫生以及全球卫生的医疗，政策和法律问题方面培养具有高质量，前沿多学科培训的下一代调查人员，这些问题对改善世界人口的健康至关重要。INCIGHT项目的学员将通过合作学校的全球健康相关证书课程参加培训。他们将根据优异的学习成绩从相对较大的合格学生和住院医生/研究员中选出。将与匹兹堡大学的少数族裔招生官员合作，作出特别努力招收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，按照严格的标准进行选择。拟议的新课程包括：全球卫生的关键问题、全球卫生政策和一门顶点课程——将全球卫生教育转化为行动。工作坊的主题将涵盖所有四所参与的学校。INCIGHT项目将在项目主任Phalguni Gupta博士的领导下进行管理，指导委员会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。拟议的新课程和研讨会将形成必要的粘合剂，将四所学校的证书课程联系起来，使INCIGHT项目取得成功。此外，INCIGHT计划将加强这些参与学校中从事全球卫生的教师和学生之间的互动，同时激发四所学校以外的学生的兴趣，这些学生可能从未考虑过这个领域，甚至没有意识到它的存在。匹兹堡大学的教员提议建立一个全校范围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、一系列讲习班和海外实地考察，整合公共卫生、医学、公共和国际事务和法律四所参与学院的全球健康证书课程。INCIGHT计划预计将在公共卫生以及全球卫生的医疗，政策和法律问题方面培养具有高质量，前沿多学科培训的下一代调查人员，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.
