Summer 2009 Global Health Internship Opportunity

Happy New Year to all!  Though it seems early, its already time to start thinking about this coming summer!  See below for a great internship for those interested in health in developing countries.

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 Indias' 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.
