Although global health education programs have grown in popularity, measurable impact is lacking. We previously surveyed 363 physicians in training across 15 programs in four countries in 2004 regarding basic parasite knowledge and recognition of <jats:italic>Strongyloides<\/jats:italic> risk through a theoretical case scenario. In 2005, the University of Minnesota implemented a formal global health training program (GHP). In 2009, the identical survey was repeated. Strongyloidiasis recognition increased from 11.1% (19\/171) in 2004 to 39.4% (50\/127) in 2009 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). Trainees participating in formal didactic and interactive curriculum had superior recognition (77% versus 29%; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). In a multivariate model of GHP training activities, participation in an American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene-accredited global health certificate course increased recognition (odds ratio = 9.5, 95% confidence interval = 2.5\u201336, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.001), whereas participation in international electives alone did not (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.9). A formal GHP curriculum was associated with improved knowledge regarding common parasitic infections and the risk of iatrogenic morbidity and mortality due to strongyloidiasis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2011.10-0732","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,9,6]],"date-time":"2011-09-06T18:47:57Z","timestamp":1315334877000},"page":"405-408","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Impact of Global Health Residency Training on Medical Knowledge of Immigrant Health"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"85","author":[{"given":"Ashley Balsam","family":"Bjorklund","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bethany A.","family":"Cook","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brett R.","family":"Hendel-Paterson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patricia F.","family":"Walker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"William M.","family":"Stauffer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David R.","family":"Boulware","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"R1","series-title":"Trends in Migrant Stock","author":"United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division","year":"2009"},{"key":"R2","series-title":"Place of Birth of the Foreign-Born Population; American Community Survey, 2009","author":"US Census Bureau","year":"2009"},{"key":"R3","series-title":"Acad Med","first-page":"S53","article-title":"International exchange programs and U.S. Medical Schools","volume":"83","author":"McKinley","year":"2008"},{"key":"R4","series-title":"Acad Med","first-page":"781","article-title":"An international health fellowship in primary care in the developing world","volume":"65","author":"Smilkstein","year":"1990"},{"key":"R5","series-title":"Acad Med","first-page":"342","article-title":"Educational effects of international health electives on U.S. and Canadian medical students and residents: a literature review","volume":"78","author":"Thompson","year":"2003"},{"key":"R6","series-title":"Acad Med","first-page":"90","article-title":"A core curriculum for international health: evaluating ten years' experience at the University of Arizona","volume":"67","author":"Pust","year":"1992"},{"key":"R7","series-title":"Fam Med","first-page":"226","article-title":"The educational effect of clinical rotations in nonindustrialized countries","volume":"26","author":"Bissonette","year":"1994"},{"key":"R8","series-title":"J Med Educ","first-page":"468","article-title":"Effectiveness of an international health elective as measured by NBME Part II","volume":"51","author":"Waddell","year":"1976"},{"key":"R9","series-title":"Fam Med","first-page":"566","article-title":"New world views: preparing physicians in training for global health work","volume":"32","author":"Haq","year":"2000"},{"key":"R10","series-title":"Infect Dis Clin North Am","first-page":"439","article-title":"International health training.
