Systems Thinking provides a useful set of concepts and tools that can be used to train students to be effective and innovative global health leaders in an ever-changing and often chaotic world. This paper describes an experiential, multi-disciplinary curriculum that uses Systems Thinking to frame and analyse global health policies and practices. The curriculum uses case studies and hands-on activities to deepen students' understanding of the following concepts: complex adaptive systems, dynamic complexity, inter-relationships, feedback loops, policy resistance, mental models, boundary critique, leverage points, and multi-disciplinary, multi-sectoral, and multi-stakeholder thinking and action. A sample of Systems Thinking tools for analysing global health policies and practices are also introduced.
系统思维提供了一套有用的概念和工具，可以用来培养学生，使他们成为在不断变化和经常混乱的世界中具有创新性和有效性的全球卫生领导者。本文介绍了一种体验式的多学科课程，该课程使用系统思维来构建和分析全球卫生政策和实践。该课程使用案例研究和实践活动来加深学生对以下概念的理解：复杂自适应系统、动态复杂性、相互关系、反馈回路、政策阻力、思维模式、边界批判、杠杆点，以及多学科、多部门和多利益攸关方的思维和行动。还介绍了用于分析全球卫生政策和实践的系统思维工具示例。
