Global and Rural Child Health Fellowship

We are excited to announce a call for applications for our GLOBAL, RURAL, AND UNDERSERVED CHILD HEALTH FELLOWSHIP at the University of Utah School of Medicine and in partnership with the University of Rwanda and Navajo Area Indian Health Service.

We are soliciting applications for 2-3 positions starting July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2026.

The objective of our fellowship is to provide fellows with clinical exposure, academic opportunities, and mentorship in order to become leaders in global child health. Our fellows receive mentorship from faculty at the University of Utah and from colleagues at our partner sites at the University of Rwanda and Navajo Area Indian Health. Over the two years, fellows also have the opportunity to pursue an advanced degree through the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

Fellows will spend approximately 12 months working with a great group of clinicians in the Indian Health Service/Navajo Area Indian Health followed by 12 months in Rwanda, stationed at the University Teaching and Kabutare District Hospitals. Fellows are integrated into the faculty of the University of Rwanda and the care teams at IHS and have the opportunity to participate in clinical care, medical education, and research/QI.

Fellows are compensated competitively as compared to other global health fellowships in the United States and Canada, and all travel, insurance, and housing are included.
