Globalisation has led to significant changes in health care, yet medical education remains domestically focused. The majority of the world's children live in developing countries, and education related to global child health is important for paediatric residents.
Chief residents and program directors from the 16 Canadian paediatric training programs were surveyed using a questionnaire regarding global child health training program content, electives, attitudes and perceptions towards global child health.
No programs had a formalised global health curriculum. All program directors and chief residents reported that programs offer global child health sessions, but 50% of the programs did not address six out of twelve of the content areas including topics such as refugee health and international adoption. All program directors agreed global child health understanding is important for paediatric trainees; 83% agreed more emphasis should be placed on this during post-graduate training.
A formalised global child health curriculum is lacking for Canadian paediatric residents: Program directors are willing to integrate global child health training modules into their post-graduate training programs.
全球化已给医疗保健带来重大变化，但医学教育仍以国内为重点。世界上大多数儿童生活在发展中国家，与全球儿童健康相关的教育对儿科住院医师很重要。
使用一份关于全球儿童健康培训项目内容、选修课、对全球儿童健康的态度和看法的问卷，对加拿大16个儿科培训项目的总住院医师和项目主任进行了调查。
没有项目有正式的全球健康课程。所有项目主任和总住院医师报告称项目提供全球儿童健康课程，但50%的项目未涉及12个内容领域中的6个，包括难民健康和国际收养等主题。所有项目主任都认为全球儿童健康知识对儿科受训人员很重要；83%的人同意在研究生培训期间应更多地强调这一点。
加拿大儿科住院医师缺乏正式的全球儿童健康课程：项目主任愿意将全球儿童健康培训模块纳入其研究生培训项目。
