Interdisciplinary Curriculum in Global Health Training (INCIGHT)

描述（由申请人提供）：匹兹堡大学的教师建议制定一个全校范围的框架计划，将被指定为全球健康培训（INSIGHT）计划的跨学科课程。INSIGHT计划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INSIGHT计划将通过开发三门新的核心课程，一系列研讨会和国外实地考察，整合四所参与学校的全球健康证书课程：公共卫生，医学，公共和国际事务和法律。INSIGHT计划预计将产生下一代研究人员，他们在公共卫生以及对改善世界人口健康至关重要的全球卫生的医学，政策和法律的问题方面具有高质量，尖端的多学科培训。INSIGHT方案的受训人员将通过合作学校的全球健康相关证书方案参加。他们将从相对较大的合格学生和住院医生/研究员中根据他们良好的学术记录进行选择。将与匹兹堡大学的少数族裔征聘干事合作，特别努力招收代表性不足的少数族裔学员。该计划的教师将来自这四所学校，并将根据他们过去在全球健康方面的研究，培训和服务记录严格标准进行选择。拟议的新课程包括：全球卫生的关键问题，全球卫生政策和顶点课程，将全球卫生教育转化为行动。研讨会的主题将跨越所有四个参与学校。INSIGHT计划将在项目主任Phalguni Gupta博士的领导下，在由参与全球卫生研究、培训和服务的高级和初级培训教师组成的指导委员会的帮助下进行管理。拟议的新课程和讲习班将形成必要的粘合剂，将四所学校的证书课程结合在一起，使INSIGHT方案取得成功。此外，INSIGHT计划将加强参与这些参与学校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该领域，甚至不知道它的存在。匹兹堡大学的教师提议开发一个大学范围的全球健康培训跨学科课程（INSIGHT）计划，该计划将整合四个参与学校的全球健康证书课程：公共卫生，医学，公共和国际事务，以及法律，提供三个新的核心课程，一系列研讨会和国外实地考察。INSIGHT计划预计将产生下一代研究人员，他们在公共卫生以及对改善世界人口健康至关重要的全球卫生的医学，政策和法律的问题方面具有高质量，尖端的多学科培训。

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.
