While many calls have been made to support the development of women leaders in global health, few resources have been developed and evaluated to meet this goal. We developed and evaluated a one week online short course on the essential skills for women's leadership in global health, offered in June 2021 to 22 students from 4 countries (Australia, Ethiopia, Thailand, and the United States). The course covered the state of women's leadership in global health and influencing factors; leadership theories models and frameworks; self-awareness and self-assessments; organizations and enabling environments; communication; and negotiation, and was designed to promote skills via practice, discussion, and debrief. Students rated the course highly and enjoyed the skills-building components, diversity of voices presented throughout the course, and embedded networking opportunities. Future iterations of the course, particularly those held in low-and middle-income countries, should contextualize materials, co-create with local instructors and amplify local voices, and consider incorporating shadowing, coaching, mentorship, and communities of practice.
尽管人们多次呼吁支持全球卫生领域女性领导者的发展，但为实现这一目标而开发和评估的资源却很少。我们开发并评估了一门为期一周的在线短期课程，内容是全球卫生领域女性领导力的基本技能，该课程于 2021 年 6 月向来自 4 个国家（澳大利亚、埃塞俄比亚、泰国和美国）的 22 名学生开放。该课程涵盖了全球卫生领域女性领导力的现状和影响因素、领导理论模型和框架、自我意识和自我评估、组织和有利环境、沟通以及谈判，并旨在通过实践、讨论和汇报来促进技能的提升。学生对该课程评价很高，喜欢技能培养部分、课程中呈现的多元化声音以及嵌入式的网络机会。未来的课程，特别是在中低收入国家举办的课程，应该使材料内容本地化，与当地讲师共同创造并扩大当地声音，并考虑纳入跟踪、指导、辅导和实践社区。
