The U.S. Agency for International Development’s Global Health Fellows Program provides an avenue toward achieving the “trifecta” of experience that is becoming the gold standard for a global health career - a mix of professional and overseas experience that is complimented by a master’s degree.
Under the program, recent graduates or professionals can apply to work with USAID’s Bureau of Global Health in Washington or at an overseas mission office for two to four years. Along with hands-on experience, fellows get a variety of professional development opportunities including training, workshops and mentoring.
GHFP is one of several global health fellowships offered by U.S. organizations. USAID also offers an internship programs for those interested in global health.
