Faith Kim, DMS. 2011 GHI Fellow with DPP Staff in Tanzania

GHI Fellowships are available to all medical, graduate and joint-degree students. The goal of these mentored-research fellowships is to train the next generation of global health researchers by providing a unique experience to work directly with global health researchers at their field sites and working with in-country partners. Fellowships last between  6 to 12 weeks and are available between March and August. Sites rotate annually based on preceptor availability, specialty, location and project need. These advanced level fellowships are for students who have demonstrated a strong interest in global health issues and the ability to conduct semi-independent research. Fellows will be expected to participate in pre-departure and post-fellowship debrief sessions .
