Though the need for mentoring in public health has been a documented gap since 1990s, post-COVID-19 there is a special emphasis on the need for inclusive global health leadership. Competencies beyond the traditional core public health areas like social-intelligence, strong networking and communication are the required characteristics of the next generation of global health leaders but not routinely taught in public health curricula.
Why do we need a Mentorship Program in Global Health?
Envisaging the Global Health LEAD Mentorship Programme
In 2019, Harvard Global Health Institute took their first cohort of four phenomenal women pioneering in global health as LEAD Fellows. Driven by their rich learning experience and exposure, these four LEAD fellow women
started putting their thoughts together on expanding this learning experience beyond themselves, with the objective of design accessible and practical mentorship models for women in global health.
Through the GHLMP, the Harvard LEAD Fellows desire to foster career mentorship by supporting young and upcoming global health professionals as they process career choices and pursue leadership positions.
