Global Health Pathway for Residents and Fellows

Our Mission

To develop academic leaders in global health dedicated to reducing human suffering caused by health disparities. As a distinguished program that incorporates multiple departments, the Global Health Residency/Fellowship Pathway at Duke delivers tailored postgraduate training experiences integrating specialty-specific research opportunities, masters-level didactic training, and close mentorship to develop careers in global health.

“Duke’s Global Health Pathway is unique. I have been lucky to have some amazing mentors who have really invested a lot of time in me. I feel that I have learned so much and I feel that the fellowship is really well designed to get you on a path to become an independent global health researcher.”

“There are certain obstacles that you face in the field that you cannot simulate in the classroom. One of the things that I value about being in this setting is my interaction with my team. I think the knowledge sharing as gone both ways. I hope that I’ve taught them some skills and knowledge. At the same time, I’ve learned a lot from my team.”
