This guidebook both raises and answers critical questions necessary to create and sustain quality global health exposure for resident physicians.

About this title

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.
