How do we manage the demand for global health education?

November 8th, 2011

In this week's PLoS Medicine, Vanessa Kerry of Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, USA and colleagues discuss how to manage the unprecedented growth in and demand for global health programs in the United States, Europe, and other high-income countries, arguing that global health training programs should be evaluated by the quality of the experience for trainees from all settings and by the incremental improvement in in-country care, infrastructure, and/or research.

The authors say: "Investments in scientific innovation to prevent and cure global diseases should be matched by those in the human resources required to discover and deliver innovations in prevention and treatment as well as train the next generation of leaders."
