Global Health Institute Partner-Site Field Scholars

The Global Health Institute Partner-Site Field Scholars Program promotes student learning by linking academic study with practical experience at a Global Health Institute partner site. Partner-Site Field Scholars work in teams to conduct short-term global health projects that have been jointly identified by Global Health Institute partner sites and Emory University faculty. Funding amounts will vary depending on the partner site and project identified.

Working Across Cultures

Partner-site field scholars are required to attend a course focusing on cultural sensitivity, health, and safety issues while working abroad. Stay tuned for information regarding the spring 2010 workshop.
