For the fifth year, the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH) has once again teamed up with the NIH's Fogarty International Center (FIC) and the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) to sponsor the FIC/Ellison Overseas Fellowship Program.  This program offers overseas fellowship opportunities for doctoral-level students of public health and other health professions schools.

This is an opportunity for highly motivated individuals to experience mentored research training at top-ranked NIH-funded research centers in a diverse group of countries, including Bangladesh, Botswana, Salvador, Brazil, Fortaleza, Brazil, Haiti, Chennai, India, China, Vellore, India, Kenya, Mali, West Africa, Lima, Peru (University of Washington), Lima, Peru (Johns Hopkins University), Durban, South Africa, Tanzania, Thailand, Uganda, and Zambia

Applicants must prove enrollment in a doctoral-level program at an ASPH-member school of public health, have advanced standing in a U.S. medical (M3) or osteopathic school, or prove enrollment in a doctoral-level program at a U.S. school of optometry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, nursing or dentistry. Applicants must have strong academic records and must be US citizens or permanent US residents. Medical and osteopathic students must have completed their basic science courses and one year of clinical clerkship. Public health doctoral students must have completed their coursework and passed their qualifying exams prior to the beginning of the fellowship.
