We suggest that the optimal approach to building capacity in global mental health care will require partnerships between professional resources in high-income countries and promising health-related institutions in low- and middle-income countries. The result of these partnerships will be sustainable academic relationships that can educate a new generation of in-country primary care physicians and, eventually, specialized health professionals. Research capabilities will be an essential educational component to inform policy and practice, and to ensure careful outcome measurements of training and of intervention, prevention, and promotion strategies. The goal of these academic centers of excellence will be to develop quality, in-country clinical and research professionals, and to build a productive environment for these professionals to advance their careers locally. In sum, this article discusses human capacity building in global mental health, provides recommendations for training, and offers examples of recent initiatives.
我们建议,在全球精神卫生保健方面建立能力的最佳方法将需要高收入国家的专业资源与中低收入国家有前途的卫生相关机构之间建立伙伴关系。这些伙伴关系的结果将是可持续的学术关系,可以为新一代国内初级保健医生,最终为专业卫生人员提供教育。研究能力将是一个必要的教育组成部分,用于为政策和实践提供信息,并确保对培训以及干预、预防和促进战略的效果进行仔细的衡量。这些卓越学术中心的目标将是培养国内高素质的临床和研究专业人员,并为这些专业人员在当地发展职业创造富有成效的环境。总之,本文讨论了全球精神卫生中的人力能力建设,为培训提供了建议,并举例说明了最近的一些举措。
