The primary focus of the fellowship is Global EM education and development; however, fellows will receive training in all sub-fields of Global EM including, but not limited to, disaster/humanitarian response, international law and policy, ethics in GH, research, and refugee health/health of displaced populations. Fellows will be encouraged to participate in ongoing projects in countries partnered with Penn and Penn Faculty; however, fellows will also be encouraged to develop projects at other sites.
