About the Book

This is the first ever guide to help residency programs, trainees, and other champions create, expand, and improve global health education. Learn from the experiences of existing programs, the unique career paths of successful globally active physicians, and the ethical considerations of leaders in the field of global health education. This guidebook both raises and answers critical questions necessary to create and sustain quality global health exposure for resident physicians.


About the Author

The authors and contributors of this guidebook come from a variety of disciplines, institutions, and stages of their medical careers. Together they provide perspectives on the ethical, organizational, and theoretical components of global health residency education. The sponsors, GHEC, CFHI, and AMSA are furthering such education through unique programs and outreach. This guidebook follows the "Developing Global Health Curricula: A Guidebook for US and Canadian Medical Schools" available at www.globalhealth-ec.org. Admittedly there are many worthy additions to this document which will be included in a second edition. For more information on how to get involved in these efforts email jevert@fcm.ucsf.edu.
