Description
Summary:Global emergency medicine (EM) is a rapidly growing field within EM, as evidenced by the increasing number of medical students desiring global health and emergency care experiences. Despite this growing popularity, little is known of the effect of undergraduate medical education in global health on learners and patients in the United States and abroad. During the 2013 Academic Emergency Medicine consensus conference, a group of leading medical school educators convened to generate a research agenda on priority questions to be answered in this arena. This consensus‐based research agenda is presented in this article. Resumen La medicina de urgencias y emergencias (MUE) global es un campo de rápido crecimiento en la MUE, como se evidencia por el aumento del número de estudiantes de medicina que desean experiencias de atención urgente y salud global. A pesar de esta creciente popularidad, se sabe poco del impacto en la formación médica universitaria en salud global en los estudiantes y los pacientes de Estados Unidos y extranjeros. Durante la Conferencia de Consenso de la Academic Emergency Medicine de 2013, un grupo de profesores de las principales facultades de medicina se reunieron para generar un programa de investigación con preguntas prioritarias para ser contestadas en este escenario. Este programa de investigación basado en el consenso se aborda en este artículo.
