There is strong interest among healthcare trainees and academic institutions in global health rotations. There are a number of guidelines detailing the ethical principles for equitable and ethical global health rotations and bilateral exchanges, but it is often challenging to know to implement those principles and develop longstanding partnerships.
The Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH) is a 30-year continuous partnership between a consortium of 12 universities in North America and Moi University in Kenya. The AMPATH bilateral educational exchange has had 1,871 North American and over 400 Kenyan clinical trainees participate to date. The article describes the bilateral exchange of trainees including curriculum, housing, and costs and discusses how each is an application of the principles of ethical global engagement.
The article takes the experiences of the AMPATH partnership and offers practical strategies for implementing similar partnerships based on previously published ethical principles.
AMPATH provides a model for developing an institutional partnership for a bilateral educational exchange grounded in cultural humility, bidirectional relationships, and longitudinal, sustainable engagement.
医疗保健培训生和学术机构对全球健康轮转非常感兴趣。有许多详细说明公平和道德的全球健康轮转和双边交流的伦理原则的指南，但实施这些原则并建立长期合作伙伴关系往往具有挑战性。
学术模式提供医疗保健机会（AMPATH）是北美 12 所大学和肯尼亚莫伊大学之间长达 30 年的持续合作。到目前为止，AMPATH 双边教育交流已经有 1871 名北美和 400 多名肯尼亚临床培训生参加。本文介绍了培训生的双边交流，包括课程、住房和费用，并讨论了每一项如何应用道德全球参与的原则。
本文以 AMPATH 合作关系的经验为基础，根据先前发布的伦理原则，提供了实施类似合作关系的实用策略。
AMPATH 为在文化谦逊、双向关系和长期、可持续参与的基础上建立双边教育交流的机构伙伴关系提供了一个模式。
