Dr. Mario
Pagenel Global Mental Health Delivery Fellowship
The Dr. Mario
Pagenel Fellowship in Global Mental Health Delivery provides an opportunity for
career development in global mental health service delivery and research for
post-graduate psychiatrists. Fellows develop expertise in the field while
working in Haiti or Rwanda with Partners In Health
and in collaboration with the
Harvard Medical School Department of Global Health and Social Medicine.
The Fellowship is a
one to two year placement with a PIH sister organization—Zanmi Lasante in
Haiti, or Inshuti Mu Buzima in Rwanda. By building capacity through the
mobilization, training, and professional development of in-country health care
providers, PIH and HMS seek to support locally feasible and sustainable
structures for mental health care and, over time, to establish generalizable
models for systems of mental health service delivery. The Fellowship offers a
combined focus on clinical care, training and education, research and advocacy.
While most of the
Fellowship consists of service delivery work, there is a significant academic
research component. The fellow develops an area of academic focus in global
health related to mental health service delivery and selects an academic mentor
with expertise in their area of interest. Fellows have the opportunity to
develop and collaborate in mentored research and educational projects with
experts in the HMS Department of Global Health and Social Medicine as well as
having the option of participating in ongoing research efforts. Fellows will be
eligible to attend a three-week intensive summer program in Global Health
Delivery at Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public of Public
Health.
