Feasibility of an undergraduate academic fellowship in global health system development
The EMCI Fellowship has been well received and effective in addressing gaps in global health education. This model could be replicated by comparable global health non-governmental organizations to implement programs while immersing undergraduate students in hands-on international collaboration and operational management experiences. Future development should expand fellowship concentrations to additional global health fields and assess the long-term impacts of the program.
