Meet our new AMWA Carter Fellow: Caroline Hensley! We are so excited to introduce one of our two rising AMWA Carter Fellows: Caroline! Welcome, Caroline, we are looking forward the amazing work you’ll do with us :)

Journal club time! In January we talked about Women's health and rights in Nepal and United Arab Emirates. We'd love to hear your thoughts - we had a couple fun articles, a great (short) youtube video, and a lovely NPR clip to listen to.

Journal club January: Women’s health & women’s rights Fueled by the recent women’s marches, we wanted to talk about women’s health abroad next month: kind of a grab bag of articles and news sources. As always, please comment below with you…

2016-2018 Fellow Aanika Balaji was recently published in The MS Press and we wanted to share her article here!

The Mexico City Policy, also colloquially known as the Global Gag Rule, cuts off US governmental funding for abortion abroad. How does this affect women abroad? How do organizations prepare for the lack of funding? Why should we care? What can medical students based in the US do?

Read, like, share, and comment - we always welcome your thoughts!

APPLICATION TIME ~ Calling all female medical students ~

The Anne C. Carter Global Health Fellowship awards 4 (four) AMWA student members with a two-year fellowship focused on global health. The Carter Fellowship is both dynamic and multidisciplinary. The first year focuses on a global health curriculum, local project development, and mentorship. The second year focuses on in-depth planning and preparation for a medical service-learning trip to Engeye Clinic in Uganda. The Carter Fellowship culminates in a capstone global health project in Engeye. The fellows selected for 2017-2019 will be the sixth cohort of fellows and will be expected to actively work with their predecessors, as well as assist the subsequent class in their transition, to provide good continuity within the Fellowship.

Each Fellow will have $1000 to fund her local project planning and to subsidize expenses for her international global health project and trip to Uganda. Fellows will not be required to travel abroad if medical school scheduling does not allow; however, all Fellows must plan a capstone project, even if the project addresses a more local global health issue. Throughout the two-year tenure, Fellows will also serve as active members of the AMWA Global Health Committee.

This is a great opportunity to get involved in your local and global communities. For more information, please visit our website: https://www.amwa-doc.org/students/awards/anne-c-carter-global-health-fellowship/
