Education and training programs are critical to achieve personnel capacity building and professionalization in the rapidly growing humanitarian health sector. Thus, this study aimed to describe the status of humanitarian health education and training programs world-wide.
A web-based analysis was conducted to identify the available humanitarian health programs. The following characteristics of the training programs were described: geographical location, target audience, prerequisite, qualification, curriculum, content, length, modality of delivery, teaching and assessment methods, and tuition fee.
The search identified a total number of 142 training programs, most of them available in few countries of the global North. Only seven percent of the identified programs qualified for a master's degree in humanitarian health. Public health was the most identified content (47.2%). Approximately one-half of the training programs (50.7%) were delivered face-to-face. Theoretical knowledge was the most common method used for teaching and assessment. The duration of the training and tuition fees were different for different programs and qualifications, while target audience, prerequisite, and curriculum design were often vaguely described or missing.
The study shows a global inequality in access to humanitarian health training programs due to financial and geographical constraints. The study also reveals gaps in program contents, as well as teaching and assessment methods, all issues that could be addressed by developing cost-effective e-learning and online simulation programs. Lastly, the data from this study provide a learning tool that can be used by humanitarian health educators and training centers to further define and standardize the requirements and competencies of humanitarian health professionals.
在快速发展的人道主义卫生领域，教育和培训项目对于实现人员能力建设和专业化至关重要。因此，本研究旨在描述全球人道主义卫生教育和培训项目的现状。
进行了一项基于网络的分析，以确定现有的人道主义卫生项目。描述了培训项目的以下特征：地理位置、目标受众、先决条件、资质、课程、内容、时长、授课方式、教学和评估方法以及学费。
搜索共识别出142个培训项目，其中大多数在全球北方的少数国家提供。在识别出的项目中，只有7%符合人道主义卫生硕士学位的要求。公共卫生是最常出现的内容（47.2%）。大约一半的培训项目（50.7%）采用面对面授课。理论知识是最常用的教学和评估方法。不同项目和资质的培训时长和学费各不相同，而目标受众、先决条件和课程设计往往描述模糊或缺失。
该研究表明，由于经济和地理限制，全球在获得人道主义卫生培训项目方面存在不平等。该研究还揭示了项目内容以及教学和评估方法方面的差距，所有这些问题都可以通过开发具有成本效益的电子学习和在线模拟项目来解决。最后，本研究的数据提供了一种学习工具，人道主义卫生教育工作者和培训中心可以利用它来进一步界定和规范人道主义卫生专业人员的要求和能力。
