GLOBAL HEALTH SCHOLARS PROGRAM
If you are passionate about global health and human rights, and seeking to become a leader in the field, you should apply for the AMSA’s Global Health Scholars Program! This exciting program will provide dedicated, thoughtful students with a unique opportunity to develop their own framework of human rights in global health and to bring to fruition responsible and innovative solutions to global health crises.
This comprehensive 8- month long program will allow promising, motivated health professional students to develop advanced advocacy, communication, and critical thinking skills with which to effect change in global health. The praxis-oriented curriculum will assist the Scholars in developing sophisticated ethical frameworks to comprehend global health disparities such that they can apply this framework to influence policy and create solutions addressing today’s global health crises. The Scholars will be guided through critical analyses of existing literature and policies on global health and human rights through structured readings and discussions with international leaders in the field. The Scholars will be given the opportunity to apply these frameworks to create meaningful, pragmatic solutions to a pertinent issue perpetuating global health disparities, and will be encouraged to apply advocacy and communication skills to fully develop their solutions. This year, the Scholars will focus their attention on creating solutions to address the issue of Human Resources for Health (HRH). Overall, the Global Health Scholars Programs aims to provide creative, passionate and intelligent students with the resources they need to bring to fruition responsible and innovative solutions to global health crises. We anticipate that Global Scholars will be the future LEADERS in the realm of global health and human rights.
