Overview
Overview:
Global Health Corps recruits and selects highly qualified applicants with diverse skill sets to work with high-impact organizations in year-long paid positions. During their fellowship year, fellows make a significant and measurable contribution to the placement health organization and the target population.
Fellows work in teams of two at each placement organization – one national fellow and one international fellow. Our fellows and alumni represent 40+ nationalities and have diverse backgrounds, experiences, skillsets, and passions. They are architects, designers, web developers, business analysts, teachers, communications specialists, supply chain managers, and more.
GHC supports and challenges fellows throughout their fellowship. Our training curriculum integrates leadership and professional development with self-reflection and personal learning. We focus on building skills that are essential for effective and ethical leadership, such as human-centered design thinking, storytelling, systems thinking and strategic planning for social change. We foster attitudes like empathy, resilience and cultural humility. Importantly, we engage our fellows as collaborative partners in designing and facilitating our training program.

Spud’s Thoughts:
I don’t have any personal experience with this fellowship but I always advocate for people to take a year to immerse themselves in a completely different culture.
