INTRODUCTION
Global health education is becoming more important for developing well-rounded physicians and may encourage students toward a career in primary care. Many medical schools, however, lack adequate and structured opportunities for students beginning the curriculum.
METHODS
Second-year medical students initiated, designed, and facilitated a pass-fail international health elective, providing a curricular framework for preclinical medical students wishing to gain exposure to the clinical and cultural practices of a developing country.
RESULTS
All course participants (N=30) completed a post-travel questionnaire within one week of sharing their experiences. Screening reflection essays for common themes that fulfill university core competencies yielded specific global health learning outcomes, including analysis of health care determinants.
CONCLUSION
Medical students successfully implemented a sustainable global health curriculum for preclinical student peers. Financial constraints, language, and organizational burdens limit student participation. In future, long-term studies should analyze career impact and benefits to the host country.
引言
全球健康教育对于培养全面发展的医生变得越来越重要，并且可能鼓励学生从事初级保健工作。然而，许多医学院校缺乏为开始课程的学生提供充足和结构化的机会。
方法
二年级医学生发起、设计并主持了一门通过/不通过的国际健康选修课程，为希望接触发展中国家临床和文化实践的医学生提供了课程框架。
结果
所有课程参与者（N=30）在分享完经验后的一周内完成了一份旅行后调查问卷。筛选反映文章中满足大学核心能力的共同主题，得出了具体的全球健康学习成果，包括对医疗保健决定因素的分析。
结论
医学生成功地为临床前学生同伴实施了可持续的全球健康课程。财务限制、语言和组织负担限制了学生的参与。未来，长期研究应分析对学生职业发展的影响以及对东道国的好处。
