The Center for Global Health within the Weill Department of Medicine is part of the NIH Global Health Network and supports major international programs in Haiti, Brazil and Tanzania. These long-standing international partnerships provide a wide-range of research and clinical activities for internal medicine residents. Residents return feeling transformed by the experience of working in these resource-poor systems.
Second and third-year residents have the opportunity to participate in any of the three structured international health rotations under the supervision and direction of Weill Cornell Medicine faculty members.
The program supports other international medical rotations, if residents wish to pursue experiences in other locations, and has a Global Health Interest Group with focused topic discussions and two social events annually.
For those interested in advanced training in global health, the department offers a three-year global health research fellowship. The Weill Cornell Global Health Research Fellowship is designed to train generalist clinician-scientists for academic careers in global health research. This innovative fellowship is tailored to provide clinical time working as a hospitalist, as well as dedicated time for field work and research training. Intensive mentorship is a key component of the program under the direction of Drs. Daniel Fitzgerald and Margaret (Molly) McNairy. Additional details are available here.
