Dear Global Health Colleague,
The Global Health Fellows Program (GHFP) is excited to offer
international internships for Summer of 2009. These internships
fulfill an important program goal—to help develop a diverse workforce
of global health technical experts.
Ten interns will be selected to work at community-based organizations
in Cambodia, India, and Senegal. In the past, interns have worked with
organizations such as Bridges Across Borders, Cambodia Center for
Human Rights, and India’s Rural Development Center. All interns can
expect a hands-on experience in the field of global health. For
undergraduate and graduate students, and for those seeking a mid-
career change, these compensated opportunities can be a crucial first
step in gaining overseas experience. The internships are eight weeks
long and include pre-departure training in Washington, DC.
Application deadline: March 15, 2009
Internships begin: June 1, 2009
GHFP is working with the One World Foundation to implement the
international internship program. For additional information, visit
