摘要：A global effort is underway to create a network of executive professional doctoral programs based on a model implemented in 2005 in the United States at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. That model leverages Internet video technology and a highly interactive pedagogical approach applied to the Doctoral Program in Health Leadership. The program, which confers a DrPH in health administration, anticipated the potential for technology-enhanced learning to prepare mid-career professionals for senior-level positions in organisations working domestically and internationally to improve the public’s health. Through the coordinated efforts of worldwide partner institutions, the International Network for Doctoral Training in Health Leadership (NETDOC) is working to extend the program model, accelerating the pace and reach of urgently needed doctoral-level leadership training for senior health professionals around the world. Member schools have committed to share curricula, distance learning technology and school resources. They will function as a well-coordinated network in which faculty may teach across universities and students may take courses or portions of courses from schools other than the schools in which they are enrolled. By addressing the critical need for global leadership development within the senior public health workforce, we have an opportunity to contribute substantially to efforts to improve the health of people worldwide.
