Leaders International Health Program Edmundo Granda Ugalde 2011

The Leaders International Health Program Edmundo Granda Ugalde 2011 encompasses nine months, launching in March in the participant's country under the guidance of the Program Coordination and the PAHO/WHO Country Office. During this initial phase, participants engage in different activities, discussions and visits related to the principal health and development challenges facing the country and the region as well as the main actors involved in the same, and begin to define a project to be developed later in-country in coordination with PAHO/WHO, government and other authorities.

Participants subsequently attend a two-week intensive training in international health in a country of the region, after which they return to their countries where they can continue to function in their normal employment capacity on a part-time basis if needed, while devoting a minimum of 50% of their working hours to the Program. They engage in a program of work and learning opportunities involving PAHO/WHO and other relevant local actors in international health, including country-based offices of the United Nations and other multilateral and bilateral agencies, sub-regional entities, non-governmental organizations and academic institutions

Data Limite: The applications should be submitted to the PAHO/WHO Brazil Office until 16 December 2010. Home Page: http://new.paho.org/hq/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2633&Itemid=3489
