Scholarly Work
Scholarly work related to global health varies for each resident and fellow throughout their training. Fellows are required to participate in some form of scholarly work on their international elective. These projects have varied from educational and quality initiatives to research projects. Residents have also participated in scholarly projects within the community throughout residency.
In June each year, residents and fellows showcase their global health scholarly work and international experiences at our Global Health Grand Rounds. Each resident and fellow that has participated in global health education prepares an academic poster on his or her experience. In addition, some residents and fellows have the opportunity to present at the CME-approved grand rounds. We also encourage regional and national presentations as well as manuscript submission when applicable. We have had residents and fellows present at the Global Health Learning Community session of the Association of Pediatric Program Directors Conference and the Section on Global Health session of the American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference and Exhibition. We have also had fellows work published in journals in Mexico and Peru through collaborations with international faculty.
