Global Health Careers
Global Health Programs is supportive of students, faculty, and staff as they explore the possibilities of careers in global health. In addition to library items available for loan (e.g. Edward O'Neill's Practical Guide to Global Health Service), we subscribe to a weekly international employment bulletin and we sponsor an annual Global Health Career Day. Opportunities also exist to attend national conferences where meetings with potential employers may occur.
International Career Employment Weekly
The Global Health Programs Office has subscribed to a weekly online publication for the benefit of Penn medical students. The International Career Employment Weekly reports on a wide variety of international opportunities -- from paid professional positions to programs that charge a fee for voluntary participation. Whether you are ready for a career move or looking for a new global health experience, you should take a look at this journal.
You will need a PennKey to continue.
Global Health Career Day
Global Health Programs has been sponsoring Global Health Career Days since 2007. Annual attendees number between 100 and 150, representing students, faculty, and staff from institutions throughout the Greater Philadelphia area attended. If you weren't able to attend or would like to view presentations again, just click on the year of interest.
Global Health Council Meeting
The Global Health Programs (GHP) office has sponsored students from across the Penn campus to attend conferences of the Global Health Council in Washington, DC. Seventeen students took advantage of this the first time it was offered in 2007. With Penn Key access, you can read about their impressions here. At the meeting, Neal Nathanson, Associate Dean of Global Health Programs and Hilary Marston, then second year Penn medical student, were interviewed. Please contact GHP to explore the possiblity of obtaining some support for attendance at this conference or similar ones (e.g. Unite for Site).
