Public Health Fellows

Expanding upon our existing Gender and Public Policy Graduate Fellowship Program, in 2009 the Council launched the Public Health Graduate Fellowship Program. This program will place students from top-tier graduate schools of public health in the ministries of members of the Council’s Ministerial Initiative for Health as well as in international organizations for a period of 10-12 weeks during the summer months. With confirmed sites around the world, in developed and developing countries alike, participants have the opportunity to gain firsthand experience and an increased understanding of international public health issues. Working at the forefront of international public health with ministers and area experts will allow the graduate fellows to witness the various ways in which leadership is manifested globally.
