There are a growing number of emergency physicians (EPs) working in health care abroad. There are, however, no formal training programs for EPs in international health. An International Health Fellowship has been developed to provide training for EPs in public health and international medicine. The fundamental competencies of a fellow completing the International Health Fellowship include assessment of medical need, program development, integration of programs into the existing health care framework, and evaluation of projects. This article outlines the philosophy of a training program in international health, provides an overview of the goals and objectives for such a program, and describes the development of an existing fellowship. The International Health Fellowship will develop leaders in the field of global health by combining clinical expertise, practical field experience, formal public health training, and research and education in international health. Physicians completing a fellowship will be prepared to work within foreign health systems to develop, integrate, and evaluate health care programs on an international scale.
在国外医疗保健领域工作的急诊医生数量日益增加。然而，针对急诊医生的国际卫生领域尚无正规培训项目。现已设立了一个国际卫生奖学金项目，为急诊医生提供公共卫生和国际医学方面的培训。完成国际卫生奖学金项目的学员的基本能力包括评估医疗需求、项目开发、将项目融入现有医疗保健框架以及项目评估。本文概述了国际卫生培训项目的理念，介绍了该项目的目标和宗旨，并描述了一个现有奖学金项目的发展情况。国际卫生奖学金项目将通过结合临床专业知识、实际现场经验、正规公共卫生培训以及国际卫生领域的研究与教育，培养全球卫生领域的领导者。完成奖学金项目的医生将有能力在国外卫生系统内开展工作，以在国际层面开发、整合和评估医疗保健项目。
