Position open until filled
UCSF Global Health Sciences in conjunction
with the Division of International & Area Studies and the School of
Public Health at UC Berkeley are offering support to students interested
in participating in the Global
Micro-Clinic Project (GMCP). The mission of the GMCP is to empower
people to prevent and manage diseases in economically depressed and/or
conflict-ridden areas of our world. The project centers around a community-driven
philosophy, forming partnerships between health care professionals, academia,
government, and citizens, recognizing that civic involvement is the life-blood
of functioning communities and the foundation of healthy cities.
The GMCP is funded to establish 300 pilot micro-clinics in Jordan.
The Clausen Fellowship will support either one individual for one year
or two individuals for six months each to establish micro-clinics. These
clinics will be established in collaboration with the Ministry of Health,
local NGOs, Jordanian students, and community and health professional
volunteers. See
this Global Health Sciences webpage for more information.

costs. For more information and an application, please visit www.neijs.org.
