Threats faced by global health education programs. This schematic reviews notable threats facing global health education programs in the current political era.
Table 1
Strategies for promoting the value of global health education on an anti-global backdrop.
| Frame the constant value of GHE against a backdrop of fluctuating political sentiment |
| GHE prepares trainees to practice across diverse settings |
| GHE prepares professionals for future healthcare challenges |
| GHE teaches advocacy through effective personal and institutional relationships |
| Reframe GHE to emphasize its value despite growing anti-global skepticism |
| Demonstrate that GHE programs support global and national health priorities |
| Advance alliances between global health educators and key stakeholders |
| Revise curricula to emphasize equity in “home” settings and ensure relevance to careers in GH |
| Develop robust evaluation to assess influence on professional practice |
| Integrate health policy and a comparative health systems focus into GHE curricula |
Figure 2
Schematic of modern global health (GH) education (GHE) programs. Nationalist political forces potentially damage the foundations (indicated as cracks in the dark gray boxes) upon which GH, GHE, and GHE programs were constructed. The figure summarizes the means by which the structure can be reinforced, as discussed in the manuscript (medium gray boxes).
