Global Health Experiential Fellowship is a 5-week global health research opportunity with the opportunity to conduct global health research in collaboration with Ugandan master’s and bachelor’s students under Yale School of Medicine mentors Dr. Robert Rosenheck and Dr. Yang Jae Lee. This rigorous program has gained recognition as a gold-standard in global health education. Its impact is highlighted in a forthcoming paper under review in the Annals of Global Health, co-authored by global health leaders such as Dr. Brandon Kohrt, Dr. Robert Rohrbaugh, and Dr. Peter Waiswa.
Over the past two years of the fellowship, over 80% of participating fellows have or will become co-authors of a peer-reviewed scientific article; some examples include: Differences in Mental Illness Stigma by Disorder and Gender, Community perspectives to inform the development of a radio program to destigmatize mental illness in rural Uganda, and Evaluation of a pilot, community-led mental illness de-stigmatization theater intervention in rural Uganda. Fellows will develop transferable skills useful in all fields, but particularly in medicine, research, and public health. View the syllabus and apply at our website.
