A vast gap exists between knowledge, generation of knowledge, and the application of knowledge to the needs and benefit of the global population. In middle-income and lower-income countries, universities are becoming more engaged with the communities in which they are located to try to solve the difficult problems of poverty and poor health. Global collaborations and reform of medical education in the twenty-first century will help move universities out of cloistered academic settings and into the community to bring the changes needed to equitably meet the health needs of all.
在知识、知识的产生以及将知识应用于全球人口的需求和利益方面，存在着巨大的差距。在中等收入和低收入国家，大学越来越多地参与到它们所在的社区中，试图解决贫困和健康状况不佳等难题。二十一世纪的全球合作和医学教育改革将帮助大学摆脱与世隔绝的学术环境，走进社区，带来所需的变革，以公平地满足所有人的健康需求。
