Glocal is global: reimagining the training of global health students in high-income countries

Abstract

Traditionally, training students in global health from high-income countries (HICs) has focused mostly on health problems of the Global South, and on trainees travelling to low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) for experiential learning or research to complement the theory they are taught. These experiences can be personally transformative and might also evoke a profound awareness of students' own privilege, forcing them to consider how they might spend their privilege.
