Overview Purpose of the GHEDP Mission Statement Requirements Upcoming Events http://globalhealth.medicine.yale.edu/aboutus/events.aspx
Defining Global Health global health is an area for study, research, and practice that places a priority on improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide. Global health emphasises transnational health issues, determinants, and solutions; involves many disciplines within and beyond the health sciences and promotes interdisciplinary collaboration; and is a synthesis of population- based prevention with individual-level clinical care. Koplan JP et al. Towards a common definition of global health. Lancet 2009; 373: 1993 95
Dual Purpose Enrich the general curriculum with core global health content Provide additional experiential learning opportunities, and support mentorship and scholarly activity in these areas
Meeting A Range of Needs Residents bring a variety of experiences to the table Minimal prior experience in global health, but interest piqued through refugee clinic involvement Previous involvement in planning a global health pathway in medical school, and interest in helping to develop this for the resident level Interest in developing a year-round global health opportunity, as opposed to only offering shorter experiences Provides a context for siloed global health experiences
Mission Statement The Global Health and Equity Distinction aims to train internal medicine residents to be leaders in health disparities and advocacy both nationally and abroad. Through a combination of immersive clinical experiences in resource poor settings, didactics on public/global health, and scholarly endeavors, Yale residents will be informed leaders in ethical and professional healthcare.
Mission Statement (continued) Our graduates will develop core competencies in leadership, advocacy, ethics, and social justice by: Exploring definitions and building meaningful language surrounding the practice of global health Understanding population health and geographic burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases Learning to apply multidisciplinary and sustainable methods to issues impacting health globally Demonstrate evidence-based medicine and systems based practice in resource poor national and international settings
