Fellowship Opportunities
MCH Center of Excellence Practice Fellowship Opportunities
Faculty mentor: Dr. Nitasha Nagaraj, Co-Director for Practice
The GW Center of Excellence in Maternal and Child Health Practice Fellowship is a competitive opportunity to support a few MCH students who are pursuing their Practicum in fulfillment of their Applied Practice Experience requirement for graduation. Students who are pursuing an MCH internship that is not a Practicum may also apply. An announcement of the Fellowship with instructions for how to apply is typically made late in the fall residential semester or early in the spring residential semester, with recipients announced in the spring. Recipients receive a stipend of $2,000.
MCH/Health Policy Joint Fellowship
Faculty mentor: Dr. Nitasha Nagaraj, MCH Co-Director for Practice; Dr. Anne Markus , Co-Director for Policy
The GW Center of Excellence in Maternal and Child Health will offer a joint fellowship with the Health Policy and Management Department. In this Fellowship, one MCH student will be matched with one Health Policy student to jointly tackle one specific current health policy issue. The students will investigate the issue and prepare a policy backgrounder, to include recommendations for action.
