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

Global 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 Jonathan, 2012-2013fellows
