The Centre for Global Child Health (C-GCH) at The Hospital for Sick Children is recruiting fellows for the Academic Global Child Health Fellowship training program.

The Global Child Health Fellowship program is the first in Canada to concentrate on preparing candidates for academic careers in global child health. The goal is to create an exceptional training program that will serve to develop leadership and scholarly skills in working with disadvantaged paediatric populations (from neonates to adolescents), and their families, throughout the world.

Applicants should be looking to start a challenging 2-year fellowship program. This interdisciplinary program will be accepting applicants from a variety of clinical, health care, research, and other related professional backgrounds (e.g., MDs, nursing, allied health, epidemiology, etc.).

Clinical fellows must have either: i) a graduate degree (e.g. MPH, MSc Epidemiology, or related discipline); OR, ii) significant scholarly experience within one of the following focus areas: research, capacity building through education, or knowledge translation, advocacy and policy.

Non-clinical fellows will be expected to have: i) a doctoral graduate degree (e.g. PhD Epidemiology, Nutritional Sciences, or related discipline); AND, ii) demonstrated significant scholarship within one of the following focus areas: research, capacity building through education, or knowledge translation, advocacy and policy.
