Intro Fellowship
Explore the world’s most pressing problems and how medical doctors can contribute toward solving them
About
The Hi-Med Intro Fellowship is an 8-week reading group curated by experts in the field, that explores the world's most pressing problems and how medical professionals can help solve them.
The material combines readings from academic journals, articles and podcasts with group discussions and one-to-one mentoring, focusing on topics such as global health, public policy, biosecurity, mental health and medical technology.
Over 100 medical students and doctors from around the world have already completed the Fellowship and they’ve given it a 90% recommendation rate! We run groups that meet both in person and virtually - register your interest for the next cohort below.
What’s involved?
Each week contains approximately 3 hours of pre-reading, followed by 1.5 hours of discussion with a facilitator. There are also opportunities to engage in further mentoring and research opportunities during and after the fellowship.
Who’s it for?
The Fellowship is open to anyone with a medical background who is interested in exploring how they can maximise the positive impact of their career. We welcome Fellows from all over the world and at all levels of training, from first-year medical students to consultant physicians.
Paper published
