Application Deadline: February 22, 2024

GHC’s U.S. Fellowship is an exciting 12-month opportunity to build skills as an effective leader, but it’s also much more than that. It’s a year that will catalyze your personal and professional growth, placing you within a global and diverse network of bright, young, and committed health equity champions. It is – we hope – a catalyst for an impactful career working towards equitable health systems.

As a fellow, you will:

  • Deepen your self-awareness. Develop a clearer sense of your unique leadership strengths and weaknesses and an informed understanding of how you’re perceived by others. Articulate your personal values, explore your role in advancing health equity, and develop a vision for your growth as a leader.
  • Improve your capacity for learning. Explore barriers to and opportunities for learning about yourself and your work. Develop a personal learning agenda, interrogate personal mindsets and explore new strategies for learning.
  • Extend and leverage your networks. Adopt practices to extend your network in strategic ways, and get the support and critical insights you need to advance your leadership. You’ll integrate into GHC’s global community of 1,200+ alumni and advisors.
  • Improve your understanding of how change happens in a system. Explore frameworks and tools to better understand and analyze the systems you work and live in. Develop an understanding of how change happens and strategies you can use to leverage systems change.
  • Increase your efficacy. Gain confidence in practicing your leadership and achieving positive results in your workplace and community. Apply the knowledge and insights you develop through immersion in GHC’s leadership framework and leverage the relationships you develop through GHC’s community of alumni and advisors.
  • Gain access to additional resources through GHC’s network. This includes webinars, additional trainings, networking opportunities, and other resources  from across GHC and our Community Impact Team to help you further develop your skills and deepen your partnerships.
