Program Overview:
The Global Health Equity Scholars (GHES) Fellowship is a prestigious 12-month, NIH-supported training program designed to address health inequities and improve population health worldwide. Hosted by a consortium of Yale University, Stanford University, University of Arizona, and UC Berkeley, the fellowship offers training opportunities in 17 countries and runs from July to June.
This fellowship is aimed at US doctoral students (PhD, DrPH, etc.), US professional students (MD, DDS, DVM, PharmD, etc.), US postdoctoral fellows, and foreign postdoctoral fellows from affiliated institutions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The main objective is to prepare a new generation of health researchers and professionals equipped to tackle emerging global health challenges and inequities.
