The world of global health is complex and ever-changing. It can be exciting, challenging, and for many professionals, deeply fulfilling. Register now for our upcoming webinar to learn more about global health careers, and how you can get started with our compensated internships with the US Agency for International Development (USAID) in Washington, DC. You can apply online for internships in early January 2014.

The Global Health Fellows Program II (GHFP-II) is a premier global health program that places fellows and interns with USAID and partner organizations in Washington, DC and developing countries, and provides them with expert professional development and career support. Currently, the program has more than 120 active fellows and a summer cohort of about 30 interns, with other internships throughout the year.

Join us for a Webinar: December 5th, 11 am PST/2 pm EST

Attend the webinar for firsthand insight into the world of global health. GHFP-II staff and a former intern will bring their own unique perspectives to the important work being done in global health today and will share what you can do to prepare yourself for a GHFP-II internship in summer 2014. Included in the discussion will be a focus on applicants’ diverse experiences, “distance traveled,” and community influences. The application window is coming up at the beginning of January and we’ll be previewing the internship openings in late December at www.ghfp.net.

The nuts and bolts – and a whole lot more!

We hope that the presentation will answer many of your specific questions about GHFP-II, the internships and how to prepare. But we would also like to be able to give you a sense of what it’s like to be involved in global health from an intern’s point of view: the meetings you’ll attend, the professional contacts you’ll make, and the projects you’ll work on. As a preview, click above for a video of several of our former interns and what they have to say about their experiences.

You can submit your questions ahead of time in the registration process, and you will also be able to ask questions live during the webinar. We will answer as many as possible during the last half hour. There is no charge for this webinar, and it is available wherever you have Internet access. Closed captioning will be available. Register today as space is limited!
