Many general medicine faculty have international health experience, but their interests may not be met. Increased departmental support could boost U.S. general internist involvement in global health initiatives.

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Medical Education
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Assessing international health activities within academic medicine is crucial for understanding global health engagement.
  • General medicine divisions play a key role in training future internists and shaping their global health perspectives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the current international health activities and collaborations of U.S. departments and divisions of general medicine.
  • To gauge the interest among general medicine faculty in participating in international health ventures and collaborations.

Main Methods:

  • A 15-item mailed questionnaire was distributed to 100 chiefs of general medicine divisions.
  • Data were collected on faculty international experience, interest in global health, and departmental collaborations.

Main Results:

  • 49% of divisions reported faculty with international experience (≥6 weeks in less developed countries).
  • 8.5% of all general medicine faculty had international experience, and 7.6% expressed interest in extended global health work.
  • 19% of departments had formal international collaborations, with 45% interested in joint ventures with U.S. institutions.

Conclusions:

  • Current international health interests of general medicine faculty may be underserved.
  • Encouraging international engagement by departments and divisions can increase U.S. internist participation in global health.
  • There is significant potential for expanded involvement of general medicine faculty in international health initiatives.
