For
me, GHC represents the birth of a global health career. It’s such a unique
fellowship because of how intentional and organized they are in matching the
needs of global health organizations with the skills and passions of their
fellows. I was looking for an opportunity to apply my work experience and
education in an organization whose mission and vision aligned with my own. GHC
provided that opportunity and so much more. – Bryan, 2011-2012 fellow

Health Corps allowed us, two people from different backgrounds and opposite
sides of the world, to put our minds together to think about global health
issues in a new way. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be
inspired by this diverse community, to use our professional skills in ways that
we never thought we could, and to have been provided with a doorway to the
health equity movement.– Serena and
