Overseas Fellowships in Global Health and Clinical Research
Would you like a unique chance to experience clinical research * training in a developing country? Would you like to work with a strong team of mentors and colleagues on important problems that advance people's health?
The National Institutes of Health's (NIH) Fogarty International Center (FIC) , in partnership with The Ellison Medical Foundation , the NIH National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases , and the NIH National Institute on Drug Abuse , is offering a one-year clinical research training experience for graduate-level U.S. students in the health professions. This is an opportunity for highly motivated individuals to experience mentored research training at top-ranked NIH-funded research centers in developing countries. Africa, Asia, and the Americas are regions of the world that, if accepted, you may find yourself experiencing.
This program is designed primarily for students meeting all of the following qualifications:
A strong interest in, and potential for, a career in international health activities and/or clinical research.
Advanced standing in a U.S. medical (M3) or osteopathic school; or enrollment in a doctoral-level program at a U.S. school of public health, nursing or dentistry. Applicants must have strong academic records and must be U.S. citizens or permanent U.S. residents. Medical and osteopathic students must have completed their basic science courses and one year of clinical clerkship; public health doctoral students must have completed their coursework and passed their qualifying exams prior to the beginning of the fellowship.
Support of their home academic institution, including a committed mentor.
Each Fellowship will be for a one year period. The term will begin with an intensive orientation program on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Md., in July 2006. This will be followed by approximately 10+ months of intense research training at the foreign site.
