The Dartmouth Global Health Initiative: Growing a Multidisciplinary Framework

描述(由申请者提供)：在全球健康框架计划的支持下，达特茅斯将实施达特茅斯全球健康倡议：发展多学科框架计划，为所有级别的学生开发协调的多学科课程和全球健康方面的新教育机会。这些活动将遵循达特茅斯由约翰·斯隆·迪基国际理解中心指导的全球卫生倡议(GHI)现有的多学科全球卫生模式的蓝图。达特茅斯高等研究院代表了达特茅斯学院与其研究生项目之间的密切合作：达特茅斯医学院、塞耶工程学院、塔克商学院和艺术与科学研究生院。这项建议的具体目标是：1)建立一个全球健康证书，由达特茅斯的迪基中心授予本科生和研究生，这将为掌握核心知识基金和获得参与全球健康研究所需的技能提供一个循序渐进的过程；2)在本科生和研究生院开发新的全球健康多学科课程，作为全球健康证书的基础，并最终构成全球健康轨道的核心课程，一个新的辅修保健研究的核心课程，重点是研究伦理、方法、流行病学、信息学、卫生系统和儿童健康；3)为学生和教职员工举办关于全球健康的研讨会和会议，讨论科学拨款和论文写作，在资源有限的情况下进行临床研究，健康作为国家发展和安全的决定因素，以及制药业在全球健康中的作用；4)通过在达特茅斯大学的一个国际项目和研究项目中每年增加4个本科生和5个研究生实习机会，扩大有指导的国际健康研究的机会；以及5)加强达特茅斯大学全球卫生活动的行政协调，建立一个由达特茅斯学校领导层组成的执行咨询委员会，一个由所有主要研究人员组成的全球卫生研究咨询委员会，该委员会拥有协调研究工作和指导学生经验的国际项目，并为教职员工和学生扩大论坛，以在达特茅斯校园内分享全球卫生研究经验和进展。公共卫生相关性：目前的提案将允许将全球卫生倡议提升到达特茅斯的全球卫生研究所，为全球卫生项目的重大扩展提供总体指导。总体而言，拟议的计划将导致达特茅斯提高对全球公共卫生的认识和正规的高素质培训。根据框架计划，达特茅斯将培养未来的全球公共卫生领导者。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With the support of the Framework Program in Global Health, Dartmouth will undertake The Dartmouth Global Health Initiative: Growing a Multidisciplinary Framework program to develop a coordinated multidisciplinary curriculum and new educational opportunities in global health for students at all levels. These activities will follow the blueprint of an existing multidisciplinary model of global health at Dartmouth by its Global Health Initiative (GHI) directed from the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding. The Dartmouth GHI represents a close collaboration between Dartmouth College and its graduate programs: Dartmouth Medical School, Thayer School of Engineering, Tuck School of Business, and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Specific aims of the present proposal are to: 1) establish a Certificate in Global Health to be awarded by Dartmouth's Dickey Center for undergraduate and graduate students that will provide a stepwise progression for mastering a core fund of knowledge and acquiring necessary skills for engagement in global health research; 2) develop new multidisciplinary courses in global health at the undergraduate and graduate schools to serve as the basis for the Certificate in Global Health and ultimately comprise the core curriculum of the global health track of a new minor in Health Care Research with an emphasis on research ethics, methods, epidemiology, informatics, health systems and child health; 3) conduct workshops and conferences in global health for students and faculty on scientific grant and manuscript writing, conducting clinical research in resource-limited settings, health as a determinant of national development and security, and the role of the pharmaceutical industry in global health; 4) expand opportunities for mentored international health research by adding 4 undergraduate and 5 graduate internship opportunities each year in one of Dartmouth's international programs and research projects; and 5) strengthen the administrative coordination of global health activities at Dartmouth through the establishment of an Executive Advisory Board comprised of the leadership of the schools at Dartmouth, a Global Health Research Advisory Board consisting of all lead investigators with international projects to coordinate research efforts and mentored student experiences, and expanded forums for faculty and students to share global health research experiences and progress across the Dartmouth campus. Public Health Relevance: The present proposal will permit elevation of the Global Health Initiative to a Global Health Institute at Dartmouth to provide overall direction for a major expansion of programs in global health. Collectively, the proposed plan will lead to an increased awareness of and formalized, high-caliber training in, global public health at Dartmouth. Under the Framework Program, Dartmouth will educate future leaders in global public health.
