Who We Are
The Global Health Corps (GHC) aims to strengthen the movement for global health equity and improve the quality of healthcare services for the poor by connecting outstanding young leaders with organizations working on the front lines in the fight for global health
What We Do
GHC aims to build a pipeline of new global health leaders by giving promising young leaders the opportunity to become a part of a network of peers engaged in meaningful work around the world. To achieve its mission, GHC will recruit skilled fellowship teams, provide additional training for fellows in basic epidemiology to enhance their technical skills, and place teams with selected partner organizations delivering services around the world. After working with these organizations for one year, fellows will engage in a post-field reflection forum. GHC will also maintain an alumni network so that fellows will benefit from the GHC community throughout their careers. By recruiting recent university graduates from the United States and the countries where our partner organizations are working, and by placing recruited fellowship teams in geographically diverse locations around the world, GHC will be truly international in character. In its pilot year, GHC will match 12 American fellows with 12 in-country fellows in teams of two with six partner NGOs. By the third year of operations, GHC intends to send 75 American and 75 in-country fellows to work with 25 partner sites around the world.
