Offerta formativa in Salute Globale nelle Facoltà di Medicina e Chirurgia a livello internazionale

[Autom. eng. transl.] At the international level, the need to update the current training curriculum of the health professions with the inclusion of issues relating to Global Health is increasingly shared. This is demonstrated by the new study plans that were born in many countries: from Great Britain to Sweden, from Germany to the USA. In the Medical Faculties, in recent years there has been a growing interest in issues concerning the SG, due above all to the need to respond to the rapid changes in the geopolitical and socio-economic scenarios on a global scale, which have inevitably impacted on the health of the populations. Some insights emerge from the present analysis on the international training offer: is the SG unambiguously understood? Why has no CV of the Degree in Medicine courses been definitively updated with these issues? Is the strength of the students and NGOs enough to pursue this goal? It is to be hoped that the future generations of health professionals will be adequately trained on these issues, so as to be able to influence the health of the individual and of the communities, regaining their fundamental role which sees them as promoters of social change aimed at reducing health inequalities .
