Global Health Corps is a one-year paid fellowship that pairs young professionals with organizations (fellowship placement organizations) that require new thinking and innovative solutions. We believe that great ideas don't change the world, great PEOPLE do! The fellowship begins in July 2015 and extends through August 2016. Fellows engage in professional development training, mentorship and thoughtful community-building, and continue to draw upon their fellowship experience and the GHC alumni network as they build careers of lasting impact.

Applicants can apply for up to 3 different fellowship positions, such as the one described below. To see the full list of fellowship positions, go to: http://ghcorps.org/fellows/apply/through-placements/.

Fellows are placed in organizations in pairs - one international fellow and one local fellow from the placement country - creating a fellowship team that is a central part of the fellowship experience.

About the Fellowship Placement Organization:
Founded in 2001, GBCHealth is a network of more than 200 companies and organizations committed to investing the breadth of their resources into making a healthier world, for their employees, for the communities in which they work, and for the world at large. Our vision is a global business community that is fully engaged and contributing its assets, skills, influence and reach, as joint problem solvers, to address the world’s greatest health challenges. Beginning in 2014 our programmatic focus has been on engaging the private sector specifically in attaining the health Millennium Development Goals (or MDGs) by their December 31, 2015 deadline. Our topmost priority is to maximize corporate sector participation in this final push to meet worldwide targets for cutting maternal, newborn and child deaths and advancing HIV, TB and malaria efforts. Another facet of our work centers on engaging the private sector in developing priorities and formulating new goals for the post 2015-period--a process currently being undertaken by the global health and development community.
