N2 - Pediatric practitioners whose expertise is primarily focused on the care of children within health settings in the United States are increasingly engaged in global child health (GCH). The wide spectrum of this involvement may include incorporating short-term or longer-term GCH commitments in clinical care, teaching and training, mentoring, collaborative research, health policy, and advocacy into a pediatric career. We provide an overview of routes of engagement, identify resources, and describe important considerations for and challenges to better equipping US pediatric practitioners to participate in meaningful GCH experiences. This article is part of a series on GCH describing critical issues relevant to caring for children from an international perspective.
