How has the UJMT Fogarty Global Health Fellows Program helped you grow as a person and as a professional?


 Call for Contributions

How have you grown from your UJMT experience as a researcher, mentee or mentor? The purpose of this contest is to engage UJMT partners (in-country collaborators, fellows, alumni, and others) to reflect on their experience and create messages to showcase the program. The UJMT experience is rich and rewarding, providing a springboard for further global health research and opening doors for careers. For example, alumni Stephen Pan noted: “supported by outstanding mentors and staff, the UJMT program enabled me to work alongside leading global health researcher teams and successfully transition from graduate school to university faculty.”

3. Should I list my publications/accomplishments?

While we realize that publications are important, we encourage you to reflect on how these publications have impacted your professional development.

4. What’s an example of an exceptional photo?

We do not provide examples in the spirit of fostering creativity. However, the photo should be action-oriented and linked to the global health experience. An example that would be less interesting is a group photo.

No, they do not need to be.

6.If someone else is in the photo, do I need their permission to submit?

There is no need to obtain permission unless someone is identifiable. If an individual in your image can be identified, then we ask that you obtain permission from them.

7. How do I take a quality photo or a video on a mobile phone?

Instructions and tips can be found online.
