Global Health Fellows Program

GLOBAL HEALTH FELLOWS PROGRAM -- CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

We are delighted to announce the call for applications for the 2010 cohort of Global Health Fellows, who will spend the summer in Geneva in global health policy positions.

Intended to prepare future leaders in global health, the Global Health Fellows Program, part of Duke's Program on Global Policy and Governance, provides an eight to twelve week internship at one of Geneva's many intergovernmental or non-governmental organizations. In addition, all Fellows participate in a one-week, intensive course, "Health Policy in a Globalizing World," co-organized with the World Health Organization and complemented by site visits throughout Geneva.

Program details and the application form are available at http://www.pubpol.duke.edu/geneva/.

We hope that we will again receive outstanding applications from graduateschools around the country and abroad. This year's application calls for two letters of recommendation, so candidates will want to move quickly to meet the November 30th, 2009 deadline. Patrick Morris, our Program Coordinator, would be pleased to answer any questions that potential candidates may have. He can be reached by email (geneva@duke.edu) or by phone (919-613-9214).

We would appreciate your help in disseminating this through listservs,newsletters or website links. While selection is highly competitive, we hope that students who might have interest in global health policywould consider this a useful stepping-stone to exploring this career path. If you know of exceptional graduate students specifically interested in global health policy, please share this message with them as well.
