Education is key to effective disaster management. This study reviews several postgraduate educational programs in disaster medicine.
This cross-sectional study was conducted in two stages between October 2011 and February 2012. An online search was completed, followed by a web-based survey to collect information on key aspects of the identified programs.
Thirty-four programs were identified worldwide. Public health was the main focus in 84% of these. E-learning was the preferred mode of instruction in 25% of cases. Most programs were accredited either nationally or internationally. Tuitions fees were the main source of funding.
There is a dearth of postgraduate training programs in disaster health and medicine. This applies especially to Asia, which is also the most vulnerable area. Educational provision must be strengthened in Asia and in low- and middle-income countries to enhance capacity building in the health management of disasters.
教育是有效灾害管理的关键。本研究回顾了几个灾害医学研究生教育项目。
本横断面研究于 2011 年 10 月至 2012 年 2 月分两个阶段进行。完成在线搜索后,进行了一项基于网络的调查,以收集有关确定项目关键方面的信息。
在全球范围内确定了 34 个项目。其中 84%的项目以公共卫生为主要重点。25%的项目首选电子学习作为教学模式。大多数项目在国家或国际上获得认可。学费是主要的资金来源。
灾害健康和医学领域的研究生培训项目匮乏。这尤其适用于亚洲,亚洲也是最脆弱的地区。必须加强亚洲和中低收入国家的教育供应,以加强灾害卫生管理方面的能力建设。
