Independent Projects in International Health
INDEPENDENT PROJECTS IN INTERNATIONAL HEALTH
Since 1984, hundreds of students carrying out international health projects
have received mentoring from DSM faculty, including Professors Arthur
Kleinman, Byron Good, and Mary-Jo Good, among others. Many student projects
that take place internationally are made possible through the Paul Dudley
White Fellowships and other sponsorship programs offered through the
HMS/HSDM Office of Enrichment Programs. To reach the Office of Enrichment
Programs, call 617-432-2750 or visit them at Suite 307, Gordon Hall.
The Office of Enrichment
Programs provides fellowships and sponsorships to support students
with many of these projects. Students currently enrolled at HMS should
log into eCommons and
visit the OEP homepage. Here you'll find detailed information about
OEP-sponsored programs and other fellowship opportunities, as well as
funding application forms, instructions, and deadlines.
