U.S. Fellowship
Overview
The GHC Fellowship in the U.S. identifies diverse, high-potential, emerging public health leaders and provides them with the leadership training, coaching, network, and resources to excel in their careers and advance health equity.
Meeting An URGENT NEED
Public health workers are burnt out, and many are nearing retirement age–the sector is anticipating an exodus of leaders during the next five years. Meanwhile, the sector is chronically understaffed and struggling to provide basic public health services. These deficiencies disproportionately impact Black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), leading to staggering health inequities.

Cultivating a Global Perspective
Addressing health disparities in the U.S. requires adopting a global health perspective. That means embracing the interconnectedness of health systems and equity issues across borders, developing collaborative relationships with colleagues around the world, and building on the research and innovations of leaders regardless of their nationality. U.S. fellows will engage with the fellows in our sub-Saharan fellowship throughout the year, through shared workshops and small group discussions, as well as opportunities for joint projects, extending their access to new ideas, perspectives and relationships.
