Global Health & Equity Distinction Pathway News Update for September 18, 2023

September 18, 2023
by Tracy Rabin and Sheela Shenoi

Greetings to all,

The Weill Cornell GIM Global Health Research Fellowship is now accepting applications. The three-year fellowship includes field-based research in Brazil, Haiti, India, or Tanzania; a Master of Science degree in Clinical Epidemiology or other tailored research methods; and teaching and clinical service at Weill Cornell New York-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. The objective is to provide trainees with the skills to design and conduct patient-oriented research in global health. The unique 3-year length of the fellowship provides protected time to develop trainees' research portfolios and prepare them for NIH K-award submissions by the end of the program. Trainees will receive extensive mentorship by Weill Cornell faculty, who are based both in New York City and at the international sites. The fellowship is flexible so that it can be tailored to each trainee's needs. If interested, please see the attached fellowship brochure and application instructions; interested applicants can send their personal statement and CV to ghrf@med.cornell.edu, or reach out directly to the Fellowship Director (Dr. Katey Walsh - kfw2001@med.cornell.edu) with questions.
