Alumni Reflections
"I decided to do a Global Health fellowship at RUSH because I was at a crossroad in my career, and I had a lot of questions and very few answers. The fellowship not only provided me with answers but also helped me fall in love with medicine again. Thanks to my fellowship year, I now see a path to accomplishing my lifelong goal of increasing subspecialty access in sub-Saharan Africa. The RUSH Global Health and Community Empowerment staff are some of the most amazing people I have met, and it was a joy to go to work every day."
- Femi Olorunda, Fellow Alumnus
"The one year GH fellowship through RUSH provided me a chance to experience different systems of health care delivery abroad and to serve under-resourced populations. In addition to primary care, fellows work in collaboration with many different medical specialties through surgical trips including ENT, Ob-gyn, General surgery, Plastic surgery, Audiology, Urology, and Orthopedic surgery to develop valuable leadership skills. Fellows also have the opportunity to design and pursue a global health research study during their year. Highly recommended for those interested in having an impact in improving healthcare in resource-limited global settings."
- Justina Johnson, Fellow Alumnus
