Some folks have asked for information on global health career opportunities. Shoe leather, networking, serendipity, and timing have all been mentioned as factors to success, as we heard from many of our lecturers this semester. So, to bolster your prospects, I offer below over 20 resources you may wish to consider. These are wide ranging, both here in the US and aboard.
Recall from Jen's lecture where the money for global health is located: the US government, non-governmental organizations, philanthropies, and private business, not necessarily in that order, save for the US being the largest contribution to global health programs worldwide. So, in some respects one should follow the money. In others, follow your heart. Hopefully, the two will become one in landing that perfect global health career for you.
Good luck! Jim
