[The program of international health of the Pan-American Health Organization].
This paper discusses the main characteristics of the Program on International Health of the Pan American Health Organization that started in 1985. It describes the dynamics of the formative process in which the students are involved as well as the results of their academic work both as individuals and as a group. Emphasis is placed on the contribution of the Program to the discussion of the concept and practice of international health, and specifically to one of its basic areas: technical cooperation in health. Based on this analysis a main conclusion is presented: the need to strengthen the study of international health in the training programs in the schools of public health.
