Module Coordinators: Dr. Barry Pakes and Dr. Solomon Benatar
This module will provide participants with a basic understanding of the social, economic and political factors that shape the health of populations. The first session of this module will be offered during the introductory block of the course and will explore various perspectives on the nature of global health and introduce principles, goals and methods of global health practice. We will review basic metrics and frameworks for analysis and resolution of global health issues during a discussion of changing global demographics. Sessions 2-4 will be delivered by Prof. Solly Benatar, Professor of Medicine and Director of the Bioethics Unit at the University of Cape Town. He will provide an overview of global health at the beginning of the 21st Century and provide insights into the forces that shape global health. Critical analysis of the `development paradigm` will be used to facilitate creative thinking about potential solutions. The literature will be explored to provide an entry point into new thinking about global health values, scenarios and consideration of transformative approaches.

2C: Global Health Governance and Infrastructure (3 sessions)
Module Coordinator: Dr. Jerome Singh
This 3-session module aims to equip participants with an understanding of governance terminology and their respective implications in the context of global health; an overview of key global bodies and regimes, their respective jurisdictions and powers, and how they impact, or could impact, on global health; and finally an understanding of how public health is governed at a global level, using a thematic approach.

3C: Ethics, Rights, and Law (3 sessions)
Module Coordinator: Dr. Barry Pakes
This module will explore several approaches to ethical analysis in global health. We will discuss clinical, public health, and research ethics in the global context and develop frameworks to reconcile these disparate perspectives. Global health dilemmas can also be resolved by appealing to legal instruments. We will survey international health law – including international humanitarian law, human rights law, the international health regulations and others. We will also looks closely at the ‘rights’ approach to health and evaluate its utility in identifying and resolving global health challenges. This module will be coordinated by Dr. Barry Pakes, with guest lecturers.

4C: Fundamentals of Public Health Practice (3 sessions)
Module Coordinators: Dr. Liane MacDonald and Dr. Kathleen Dooling
A population-oriented approach is essential for solving today's complex global public health problems. This module will familiarize participants with the core functions of public health practice including: population health assessment, health promotion, health protection, surveillance, and disease and injury prevention. Public health frameworks for systematically addressing global population health challenges will be reviewed. Equipped with these frameworks, participants will have the opportunity to examine several global public health case studies. Examples will include the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, and global efforts to eradicate polio.

5C: Primary Care (3 sessions)
Module Coordinator: Dr. Jane Philpott
This module will provide an essential foundation for all disciplines interested in global health by examining international efforts to achieve “health for all”. Participants will analyze the role of primary care in health systems in order to reduce costs, improve health outcomes and address inequities across population groups. All sessions will use interactive techniques to ponder the most difficult problems in delivering primary care in diverse locations. The module will utilize the broad experience of all participants and facilitators to build creative strategies for primary care. Several case studies will demonstrate how an appropriately trained health workforce can best provide primary care and promote health for all.

6C: Preparing Yourself for Global Health Fieldwork (3 sessions)
Module Coordinator: Dr. Kevin Chan
These three sessions on “Preparing Yourself to Global Health Fieldwork” highlight issues and things to address before going abroad, including how to consider projects abroad, places to go for information, and things you need to do prior to going away. The first session highlights the ideas and motivations for going abroad, and provides an outline for preparing to go overseas. The second session goes over some of the questions you should ask yourself before going abroad, and things to prepare and do before going abroad. The final session goes over the things that one needs prior to travel. By the end of the sessions, we hope you’ll be ready to travel around the world!

7C: Post-travel Debriefing (2 sessions)
Module Coordinator: Dr. Barry Pakes
One of the most important learning opportunities of any experience is a reflective and comprehensive debriefing with peers. This module will consist of 2 meetings and a short reflective paper which will explore the lessons learned across all CANMEDS domains, including ethical dilemmas. Participants will also be encouraged to share ways in which their experience affected their personal and professional development. Opportunities for follow up projects and structured mentorship will be further developed.

8C: Cross Cultural Communication (3 sessions)
Module Coordinator: Abi Sriharan PhD(c)
This module is designed to prepare participants to appreciate the different cultural and communication skills and to prepare participants to effectively communicate with culturally and linguistically distinct patients and appropriately respond to their needs and provide clinical care with cultural sensitivity.

ELECTIVE MODULES

10E: Infectious Diseases in the Developing World (3 sessions)
Module Coordinator: Dr. Darrell Tan
This module will provide an introduction to both clinical and public health aspects of infectious diseases, including approaches to their diagnosis, management and control. The module will focus primarily on three specific pathogens (HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis) and two infectious syndromes (diarrheal diseases and respiratory tract infections) of major global health importance, but will use additional examples from other infectious diseases including measles, sexually transmitted infections, and helminths. Sessions will combine didactic overviews of important concepts, small group interactive activities in which participants will apply concepts from the lectures & readings, short guest lectures, and class discussions of emerging issues, challenges and controversies in global infectious diseases.

11E: Innovative Health Service Delivery Models in Global Health (3 sessions)
Module Coordinator: Dr. Onil Bhattacharyya
Human resource constraints, underperforming health systems, remote locations and low levels of health literacy make care for the poor in low and middle-income countries particularly challenging. Despite these gaps, many innovative health service delivery models have emerged which address availability, affordability and quality of services. Using comparative case studies of social enterprises and some public programs, this module will explore barriers to care and characterize innovative health service delivery models among organizations providing care for the poor. It will focus on novel business processes (in marketing, financing, and operating strategies) and medical processes (prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring). Issues of sustainability and scalability will also be addressed. These indigenous innovations are likely to be more appropriate to resource constrained settings, and some may also be relevant to industrialized countries facing increasing health care costs.

12E: Innovation and Technology in Global Health (2 sessions)
Module Coordinator: Halla Thorsteinsdottir PhD
This module will help participants gain an understanding of the role of recent knowledge and technologies in life sciences to improve the health of people in developing countries. It will stimulate the participants to think about why it is important to consider the roles of technologies for global health. It will then look at what technologies are the most promising ones, what types of health problems they address and encourage participants to critically evaluate the technologies’ potential roles in developing countries context. We will then shift attention to discuss how advances in life sciences can be harnessed to improve health in developing countries. We will discuss strategies to promote innovation for global health and delineate the potential roles of developing countries in this process.

13E: The Environment and Health (3 sessions)
Module Coordinator: Dr. Donald Cole
This module will explore the interaction between environment and health in a global context. The basic tools of environmental epidemiology, health impact assessment, mitigation and response will be developed. Topics relating to sustainable health infrastructure development and responding to the impact of development on human health will also be addressed.

14E: Program Planning and Capacity Building (3 sessions)
Module Coordinator: Dr. Katherine Rouleau
By the end of this module, learners will: understand the concept of capacity building and identify its key components as it relates to improved access to health services and improved health equity; know about basic concepts, strategies and tools in program planning and evaluation with a particular emphasis on the Logic Model, and be able to apply the newly acquired knowledge and skills to develop a program plan and its related evaluation around either a real or fictitious capacity building project.

15E: Research in the Developing World (3 sessions)
Module Coordinator: Dr. Kelly MacDonald and Dr. Donald Cole
This module will address the logistical, material and ethical issues involved in planning and executing scientifically and culturally sound research. Participants will also be introduced to methods of funding their research and strategies for collaborating across jurisdictions and institutions. Other issues, including global health knowledge translation, intellectual property and capacity building will also be addressed.

16E: Complex Humanitarian Emergencies (3 sessions)
Module Coordinators: Dr. Nazanin Meshkat and Dr. Megan Landes
This module will provide a unique opportunity for learners to engage with leaders in global health with expertise in complex health emergencies (CHE). Through case-based discussions involving present and past CHE, students will gain an appreciation of the many issues regarding CHE and the evolving responses to them.

17E: Health and Human Rights (3 sessions)
Module Coordinator: Lisa Forman PhD
This module will provide both an overview of the history of international human rights law as it intersects with health as well as an investigation of global health and human rights theory and practice. This module will also include historical and practical lessons on health advocacy and its impact on health policy. Recent campaigns to provide access to essential medicines, including anti-retroviral treatment for HIV/AIDS, will serve as case studies for this module.

18E: Global Reproductive Health (3 sessions)
Module Coordinator: Dr. Rachel Spitzer
This module in global reproductive health will provide participants with an introduction to the broad variety of relevant topics and to the population of women who face these issues. Specific topics to be covered include maternal morbidity and mortality, cervical cancer, issues of elective pregnancy termination, HIV care in relation to reproductive health and reproductive health care for refugees and displaced populations. Sessions will be formatted around cases presented to stimulate discussion and expose different aspects of the topics for discussion. The module coordinator and guest lecturers will address the relevant topics with evidence from the literature as well as personal experiences from the field.

19E: Teaching in International Settings (3 sessions)
Module Coordinator: Dr. Julie Maggi
This module will introduce participants to the basic knowledge and skills necessary to build culturally relevant educational projects in international settings, with a central focus on the teaching of clinical material. Topics will include: conducting an educational needs assessment and using the results to develop an educational plan or curriculum, selecting and using appropriate teaching modalities, and the use of training the trainer programs. The importance of building long-term collaborative relationships will be explored and emphasized. Students will also have the opportunity to formulate a plan to carry out a given component of an educational project.

20E: Nutrition and Food Security (3 sessions)
Module Coordinator: Dr. Stan Zlotkin
Food insecurity and inadequate nutrition affect 923 million individuals globally, most but not all in the least economically developed countries. Economic and climatic changes are increasing food insecurity and poor nutrition, with significant impact on health, especially among vulnerable groups such as women, children, the elderly, the socially marginalized, stigmatized or disadvantaged, and the poor. This module will use case studies and class debate to define insecurity and poor nutrition, explore their role as an underlying determinant of health in both poor countries and economically developed countries such as Canada, and identify solutions available to the clinician at the clinic and community level. Participants will learn the multi-faceted causes of food insecurity and poor nutrition, how to measure them in the patient and community, their impact on infectious and chronic disease susceptibility and care, and potential context-appropriate solutions that can be applied to the individual, household or community.

21E: Special Populations (3 sessions)
Module Coordinator: Dr. Anna Banerji
This module will address the health disparities experienced by marginalized populations in Canada. The first two sessions will address issues affecting refugees and high-risk immigrants, and will focus on defining the different categories of refugee and internally displaced individuals. We will discuss life before arrival in Canada with particular emphasis placed on risks that predispose newcomers to poor health upon arrival. The second session will focus on refugees, refugee claimants, and immigrants from resource-poor populations post arrival; the integration process and common health conditions common in these populations. The last session will give a broad overview of health issues affecting Aboriginal populations, first by putting it into historical context, and then discussing disparities in the use of health indicators. During this session, we will look at a case study in respiratory infections in Inuit children, define the problems, and look for solutions. This module aims to increase the awareness surrounding the health discrepancies in vulnerable populations within Canada, and will challenge participants to analyze barriers to health and search for solutions.

22E: Global Mental Health (3 sessions)
Module Coordinators: Dr. Clare Pain
There is no health without mental health. Mental illness is the largest single cause of disability across the globe, but in most parts of the world stigma and a near-total lack of mental health services causes those with mental illness to be forced to the margins of society. This module will review the worldwide epidemiology of mental illness and co-morbid conditions of addictions, substance use and violence. We will discuss and demonstrate approaches to treatment of mental illness in low resource settings, as well as public health approaches to modifying the broader determinants of mental health.

23E: Surgical Skills and Anaesthesia for Global Health (3 sessions)
Module Coordinators: Dr. Andrew Howard and Dr. Greg Silverman
The first half of this module, designed for surgeons and non-surgeons alike, will review the epidemiology and etiology of important surgical problems in under-resourced and conflict regions. Participants will become familiar with basic and improvised surgical techniques and the setup of basic surgical infrastructure in challenging settings. The second half of this module will focus on the provision of safe anaesthesia in the developing world. It will give a general overview of several important topics including difficult airway management, anaesthetic equipment, monitors, drugs, blood transfusion, and post-operative analgesia in resource-constricted environments. It is designed for a general audience and will be off use for any medical professional involved in perioperative medicine.

24E: Focus on Child Health (3 sessions)
Module Coordinators: Dr. Bob Hilliard and the SickKids Global Health Committee
The Focus on Child Health Module will examine the issues related to global child health from a medical perspective within the current social and political healthcare context. This module will provide a background to the determinants of global child health, paediatric problems seen around the world and paediatric problems unique to developing countries. Importantly, the Child Health Module will also analyze the social and preventative aspects of global child health. Specific topics for discussion will include the Millennium Development Goals, Nutrition, Infectious Diseases, Respiratory Illnesses, and Health Promotion, amongst others. This module will provide participants with the background knowledge necessary to assess the unique situations global health experiences may present when working to improve the health of children around the world.

25E: Health Economics (1 session)
Module Coordinator: Dr. Jeffrey Hoch
This module will introduce participants to the basic tools and language of health economics. These will include methods of decision-making using cost-benefit, cost-effectiveness, and policy analysis.

26E: Leadership in Global Health (1 session)
Coordinated by GHEI Administration and will include University of Toronto global health leaders.
Innovative and effective leadership is critical to solving global health problems. This module will introduce participants to some of the most influential and prominent global health leaders and engage in a discussion with them on how to affect change through leading and team collaboration.
