Global health competencies and curricula should be linked to local health system needs and contexts where learners are working.Emphasizing both individualistic and collectivist approaches to learning is important in engaging and supporting diverse global health learners.Emphasizing mentorship and opportunities to apply learning in contexts where learners are working is important in order to provide support to learners as they work to integrate what they are learning into their professional roles and activities.Partnerships and resources-including donor support-are essential to implement and sustain robust leadership curricula and to provide opportunities for experiential and didactic learning.
