Summary
A standardized global child health (GCH) modular course for pediatric residents resulted in high satisfaction and improved knowledge. This curriculum effectively changed attitudes and could be a model for other North American programs.
Area of Science:
- Pediatrics
- Global Child Health Education
Background:
- Pediatric residents require training in global child health (GCH).
- Standardized curricula are needed to address priority GCH topics.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate a standardized GCH modular course for pediatric residents.
- Assessed resident satisfaction, knowledge acquisition, and behavior change.
Main Methods:
- Four interactive 1-hour GCH modules were delivered to pediatric residents across 4 Canadian institutions.
- A pre-post, mixed-methods evaluation included surveys, knowledge tests, and focus groups.
Main Results:
- 125 residents participated, reporting high satisfaction with the course content and interactive approach.
- Significant knowledge gains were observed in 3 of 4 modules (P < .001).
- Residents reported increased practical knowledge, global health awareness, and motivation.
Conclusions:
- A participatory GCH modular curriculum effectively enhanced knowledge and attitudes.
- The course demonstrated potential for scalability and adaptation as a standardized North American curriculum model.

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
