Fellowships
A WHO fellowship offers individuals and groups a range of training opportunities with specific learning objectives and competencies. These correspond to the relevant country’s approved health and health-related plans, policies and priorities, with the aim of building national capacities.
Training modalities vary and include academic degree and non-degree courses, research, technical training, professional development, observations, study tours and seminars. Training may be in person or virtual, and short or long term. Training may take place in a training institution or in the field, within or outside of the fellow’s home country.
For countries and territories of the Region, the WHO fellowships programme is an integral part of human resources development and an important aspect of technical capacity-building. Each fellowship is a joint undertaking by WHO, the fellow, the sending and receiving governments and training institution.
Fellows@EMRO, which is one aspect of the programme, aims to build the capacities of young public health professionals from low- and middle-income economies in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region. Through placements at the WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean, it gives tomorrow’s health leaders insights into national, regional and global public health issues.
