International medical electives are viewed as an opportunity for medical students to experience global health firsthand and improve cultural humility. Despite its potential benefits, concerns have been raised regarding harms during placements. These need to be addressed to ensure that international electives are conducted ethically and not only benefit learners but also the communities involved. The University of Saskatchewan has transformed its global health certificate, , in an effort to address existing concerns. We seek to share the program's approach and its value to us. Other centres may introduce this approach to help train more equity-oriented healthcare workers.
国际医学选修课程被视为医学生亲身体验全球健康并提高文化谦逊意识的机会。尽管有潜在益处，但人们对实习期间的危害也提出了担忧。需要解决这些问题，以确保国际选修课程的开展符合道德规范，不仅使学习者受益，也使相关社区受益。萨斯喀彻温大学对其全球健康证书进行了改革，以努力解决现有问题。我们希望分享该项目的方法及其对我们的价值。其他中心可能会引入这种方法，以帮助培养更多注重公平的医护人员。
