The Penn Global Women’s Health Fellowship is a two-year fellowship designed to train experts in global women’s health, specifically in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. Our program focuses on addressing health disparities in maternal health, women’s preventative health and surgical services through partnerships with local and international organizations to advance a sustainable model of health care. These exchanges will provide core education in selected topic fields including clinical care and policy development, implementation sciences, epidemiology and health outcomes research, molecular and genomic medicine, etc.
Program graduates are expected to develop the foundation for sustainable careers in global health through a combination of global immersion experiences, course work and research projects targeted to the acquisition of relevant skill sets, and through dissemination of scholarly work. At the completion of training, fellows will be prepared to launch and sustain an academic career in global women’s health.
