Global Health 好色先生 in Child Neurology and Neurodevelopmental Disabilities Training Programs: A National Survey
Global Health and Neuroepidemiology
P2 - Poster Session 2 (5:30 PM-6:30 PM)
7-044
To describe the current landscape of opportunities and education in global health (GH) among child neurology and neurodevelopmental disabilities (CN/NDD) training programs, providing a framework for future development of GH education
There has been a considerable shift in pediatric morbidity, mortality and disability paralleled with an increase in desire for global health participation among training programs in all specialties. However, there is no comprehensive characterization of this participation in CN or NDD training programs.
Authors surveyed CN/NDD Trainee and Program Director (PD) groups. Trainees provided information regarding interest and participation in GH, and obstacles therein. PDs provided information regarding existing collaborations in GH including academic yield and perceived obstacles and information regarding GH educational development, including curricula and program tracks.
Among trainees, 82% reported interest in GH with 25% of these reporting any influence in program selection. Among programs, 34% reported any GH collaborations, most frequently clinical, and 46% of these listed any academic yield (e.g. publications). Major obstacles described by trainees included administrative issues other than funding (staffing, obtaining credit for rotation), whereas PDs described funding as their main concern. A GH curriculum was reported by 16% of programs, with lectures (100%), orientation courses (50%) and pre/post-travel sessions (50%) being the most commonly described elements. Main content included public health education, resourcefulness and epidemiology. Half of programs offered a formal GH training track, including opportunities in language education (67%) and advanced degrees (33%).

Similar to other specialties, growing interest in GH among trainees corresponds to growing availability of said opportunities. However, most display significant logistic obstacles and lack curricular development. Potential areas for intervention, including an interdisciplinary approach, and the potential for academic output of structured GH offerings are identified for programs wishing to expand in GH education.
