Introduction Despite medical advances of the past century more than 8 million children under 5 years of age die each year from preventable causes. 1 This harsh reality highlights a critical need for the development of leaders and human capacity in global child health. Few formal training programs provide physicians with the skills and mentorship necessary to become global pediatricians. 2 In response to this need we piloted a Global Child Health Elective for pediatric residents at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine interested in a career in global child health. Global Pediatricians in Training: An Innovative Curriculum Preparing Pediatric Residents to Engage in Global Health Experiences Leigh Sweet MD MPH 1,2,3 and Melissa Held MD 2,3 1 Baylor College of Medicine, 1 st year Pediatric Infectious Diseases Fellow 2 University of Connecticut School of Medicine, 3 Connecticut Children’s Medical Center  Globalization has heightened awareness of health disparities in the world and increased medical trainee interest in humanitarian efforts.  The benefits of global health experiences include: greater appreciation for working with limited resources, increased clinical skills and confidence, and heightened cultural sensitivity. 5  In response to learner interest we piloted a curriculum in Global Child Health with pediatric residents at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine in the fall of 2011 and Texas Pediatric Society Electronic Poster Contest Background Objective To develop a competency-based curriculum that provides pediatric residents with:  Medical knowledge  Communication skills  Cultural sensitivity  Humanistic values … needed to care for the world’s children and their families. Design Core Didactic Topics Included:  Child morbidity & mortality  Social determinants of health  Malnutrition  Reproductive health  Infectious diseases  Tropical medicine  Health systems  Environmental health Skill-Building Workshops On:  Leadership and management  Effective communication  Developing community-based health initiatives Visits to Refugee Communities in Hartford, CT and Cultural Immersion in Guatemala Highlighted:  Major global inequalities  Cultural sensitivity  Humanistic patient care in resource-poor settings Assessment Residents completed pre- and post-elective assessments of:  Global health knowledge  Self-perceived advocacy skills  Ability to identify community and global health resources Results Global Health Knowledge:  Pre-test mean – 48%  Post-test mean – 75%  n = 8; p-value <0.001 All Residents Reported Gaining:  Significant knowledge and skills  Increased confidence in ability to improve child health locally and globally  Affirmation of their desire to integrate global health work into their careers Conclusions  The Global Child Health Elective at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine provides learners with global health knowledge, skills and experiences.  These experiences highlight health disparities locally and globally, while introducing participants to skill sets that allow them to begin to approach these challenges.  Such early exposures allow learners to affirm their interest in global health and further pursue opportunities that fit within their career goals. Future Directions  Further development of local and international partnerships  Development of Global Child Health Pathway Acknowledgments Catholic Charities Migration, Refugee and Immigration Services Hartford, CT Niños de Guatemala, staff and students at Nuestro Futuro School Ciudad Vieja, Guatemala and El Porvenir School San Lorenzo el Cubo, Guatemala Abstract Less than half of residents whose career plans include taking part in global child health activities after graduation receive adequate training in content areas considered essential for individuals working in the field. 3 The global pediatrician “understands the state of child health locally and globally and has the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors to improve the lives of children individually and in the world community.” 4 We developed a curriculum that introduces residents interested in a career in global child health to the major concepts and tools necessary to become global pediatricians. Our learners reported gaining significant knowledge and skills during the elective as well as increased confidence in their ability to improve child health locally and globally. The pilot program’s success prompted the residency program administration to approve the development of an educational pathway dedicated to training in Global Child Health. Methods Residents interested in the Global Child Health Elective applied for 1 of 4 available PGY-1 spots upon acceptance into the pediatric residency program. The month-long elective consisted of didactic, interactive and immersion experiences. References 1.You et al.
