摘要：Short-term global health volunteerism is on the rise, as students and health care professionals seek short-duration volunteer experiences in low income settings. Given the potential for ethical transgressions in such situations, pre-departure ethics training is essential. We have developed a very short ethics training regimen with four dimensions: (1) an overview of the history and major challenges with respect to global health and ethics; (2) a simplified global health ethics framework for the non-specialist; (3) examples of ethical crises experienced in the field; (4) a proposed simple strategy for addressing new crises as they arise. We feel our training model can be modified and replicated for other groups in need of basic and brief pre- departure ethics training.
