Lay summary
The Global Health Classroom (GHCR) is a tool for global health learning where medical students in different countries can collaboratively learn about each other’s health systems, cultures, and determinants of health via videoconference. Since 2017, there have been regular GHCR sessions between medical students at the National University of Samoa, Samoa and University of Otago, New Zealand. In 2018 data was collected to explore the learning outcomes, particularly regarding global child health, and experiences of Samoan and New Zealand medical students in the GHCR. This project aims to analyse this data to determine its effectiveness for global child health learning. We are also interested to explore how reciprocal and collaborative the GHCR has been, and how this could be further developed.
