In the 21st century, we face enormous public health challenges that differ fundamentally from those of the last century, because these challenges involve widespread societal change and complexity. To address these challenges, public health professionals need to be able to place their work in a larger social context, understand local and global perspectives on a deeper level, and effectively engage a wide variety of stakeholders. To confer these skills, we need to change the way we train our students. We present two examples of low-cost innovative approaches to teaching public health that promote active engagement with individuals across a wide range of backgrounds and fields and that train students to be effective agents for change.
在21世纪，我们面临着与上个世纪截然不同的巨大公共卫生挑战，因为这些挑战涉及广泛的社会变革和复杂性。为应对这些挑战，公共卫生专业人员需要能够将他们的工作置于更广阔的社会背景中，更深入地理解地方和全球视角，并有效地与各种各样的利益相关者互动。为了赋予这些技能，我们需要改变培养学生的方式。我们展示了两种低成本的公共卫生创新教学方法，这些方法促进了与来自广泛背景和领域的个人的积极互动，并培养学生成为推动变革的有效力量。
