Global Health Fellows Program

Sophomores and juniors with a demonstrated interest and commitment to addressing pressing global health challenges may apply to become Global Health Fellows. As fellows, students prepare for careers in global health by developing expertise and competence through coursework, a global health experience in the field, whether in the U.S. or abroad, and engagement in global health events on Yale’s campus and beyond. Fellows complete an interdisciplinary course of study, research, and practice that address fundamental and applied economic, political, social, cultural, biological, and scientific issues relevant to global health.
