Gavin Yamey, professor of the practice of global health and public policy, directed the Duke Geneva Global Health Fellows Program, offered by the Sanford School of Public Policy.
The program consists of a one-week intensive course of lectures, panels, site visits and a policy case competition, together with a two to three month internship with a Geneva-based global health stakeholder organization.
This year's 22 global health fellows interned at the WHO and the International Organization of Migration. The global health track was one of three tracks that made up this year's Duke Program for Global Policy and Governance (the other tracks focus on humanitarian action and on energy, the environment and economics).
DGHI director Michael Merson attended the Duke Program reception, which is the culmination of the course week for the three tracks.
