Description:

This artcle argues that: emerging training programs in global health worldwide create a unique opportunity to re-examine the strategy to scale-up human resources to reduce the global burden of disease; funding should be channeled to programs that promise sustained, rational, and effective training; and global health training programs should be evaluated by the quality of the experience for trainees from all settings and by the incremental improvement in in-country care, infrastructure, and research.
