As health challenges evolve, complex
global initiatives are created to meet
them. The Global Health Fellows Program

premier health fellowship program that
identifies and supports diverse, technically
excellent professionals. GHFP-II Fellows
and Interns support the Agency’s global
health programs. To be most effective,
the Agency recognizes that training and
coaching participants is essential to
strengthening their ability to contribute to
global health priorities.
