Public policy in Canada is sensitive to changes that have occurred in society as a consequence of immigration, globalization and a new understanding of aboriginal and ethnic cultures. The traditional medical school undergraduate curriculum does not accommodate these changes. The current emphasis on evidenced-based medicine may reinforce the traditional approach because there is a dearth of global healthcare research. This review of medical schools in Canada suggests that modifications of curricula are being attempted to meet the need for knowledge of global health. Integration of global health principles and information into the current curriculum promotes a better understanding of Canada's healthcare delivery system itself as well as its role globally.
加拿大的公共政策对因移民、全球化以及对原住民和民族文化的新认识而在社会中发生的变化很敏感。传统医学院的本科课程并未适应这些变化。当前对循证医学的强调可能会强化传统方法，因为全球医疗保健研究匮乏。对加拿大医学院校的这项综述表明，正在尝试修改课程以满足对全球健康知识的需求。将全球健康原则和信息融入当前课程，有助于更好地理解加拿大的医疗保健提供系统本身及其在全球的作用。
