摘　　要：Transnational public and global health programs in China have rapidly expanded over the past 20 years,and have potential to make important contributions to China’s global health workforce.However,there has been sparse if any literature specific to transnational public and global health higher education in China.In response,this perspective article aims to:(1)outline current transnational public and global health programs in China,and(2)delineate opportunities and challenges for transnational public and global health programs to enhance China’s global health workforce.Based on internet searches,eight active transnational public and global health programs in China were identified in September 2022(one Bachelors;four Masters;three doctorate).Degree awarding institutions are located in Australia,Portugal,the United Kingdom,and the United States.Courses for stand-alone transnational programs were co-delivered by faculty from the Chinese and foreign sponsoring institutions.The earliest and latest programs were respectively established in 2001 and 2022,and the average year of establishment was 2013.The endurance of some programs(three programs operating≥10 years)indicates the potential sustainability of transnational public and global health programs in China.However,opportunities for cross-cultural engagement appear to be constrained by lack of English(or other language)requirements in some programs,limited recruitment of international students,pandemic travel restrictions,and a dearth of funding for global health research outside China.In addition,students enrolled at transnational universities in China are currently ineligible for China Scholarship Council funding.As China’s need for global health capacity grows amid a rapidly shrinking population of younger citizens,strategic investments in transnational public and global health programs may be of increasing value.
