Despite China's large and growing global presence, data about global health (GH) education (GHE) in China's medical schools are limited. We aimed to describe GHE in these schools and determine whether some may teach GH concepts without labeling them as such.
In 2019, 161 Chinese medical schools eligible for accreditation by the Ministry of Education were invited to complete a questionnaire as part of a national survey. Data were analyzed using descriptive analyses, Chi-square tests, Fisher exact tests, and logit models.
Approximately 57% of schools completed the survey ( = 93). 33 (35.5%) indicated that GHE was included in the curriculum. Although the majority of responding schools reported the absence of GH in the curriculum, GH topics were identified at many institutions. Schools affiliated with the central government or an aspiring world-class university were more likely to report the inclusion of GHE and offered more opportunities at international away sites.
Chinese medical schools are frequently teaching GH topics, but may not label the instruction as such. Policy-makers and educators should be equipped with a global perspective to facilitate GHE at China's medical schools and take measures to address differences between schools.
尽管中国在全球的影响力巨大且不断增强，但有关中国医学院校全球健康（GH）教育（GHE）的数据有限。我们旨在描述这些学校的 GHE，并确定其中一些学校是否在没有将其标记为 GH 概念的情况下教授 GH 概念。
2019 年，邀请了 161 所符合教育部认证资格的中国医学院校完成了一项全国性调查的问卷调查。使用描述性分析、卡方检验、Fisher 精确检验和对数模型对数据进行分析。
约有 57%的学校完成了调查（ = 93）。33 所（35.5%）表示 GHE 包含在课程中。尽管大多数回应的学校报告课程中没有 GH，但在许多机构中都确定了 GH 主题。隶属于中央政府或有志成为世界一流大学的学校更有可能报告纳入 GHE，并提供更多在国际异地站点的机会。
中国医学院校经常教授 GH 主题，但可能不会将教学标记为 GH。政策制定者和教育工作者应该具备全球视野，以促进中国医学院校的 GHE，并采取措施解决学校之间的差异。
