Integrating global health (GH) training in medical education has become prevalent in the United States over the last two decades. Many medical school graduates participate in some type of international learning experience during their undergraduate/graduate training, with plans to make this a part of their life-long learning experiences. Recognizing this trend, many pediatric national organizations, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Association of Pediatric Program Directors, and the American Board of Pediatrics, have developed initiatives integrating GH education into existing curricula. We report our experience with using virtual learning on a cloud-based platform to remain connected with our GH training partners, and utilize this opportunity to further strengthen our existing relationships during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, our experience thus far shows that this is an effective way to maintain communication even when international travel is not possible. It allows for the ongoing exchange of ideas and the development of long-term sustainable relationships. There are many important lessons our trainees can learn from such partnerships.
在过去的二十年中，将全球健康（GH）培训纳入医学教育在美国已经很普遍。许多医学生在本科/研究生培训期间都会参加某种类型的国际学习体验，并计划将其作为终身学习体验的一部分。许多儿科国家组织，如儿科学会、儿科项目主任协会和儿科学委员会，都认识到了这一趋势，已经制定了将 GH 教育纳入现有课程的计划。我们报告了使用基于云的虚拟学习平台与我们的 GH 培训合作伙伴保持联系的经验，并利用这一机会在持续的 COVID-19 大流行期间进一步加强我们现有的关系。总的来说，我们目前的经验表明，即使无法进行国际旅行，这也是一种保持沟通的有效方式。它允许持续的思想交流和长期可持续关系的发展。我们的学员可以从这种伙伴关系中学到许多重要的经验。
