Atlantic Fellows for Health Equity develops global leaders who understand the foundations of health inequity and have the knowledge, skills and courage to build more equitable organizations and communities. The fellowship does so by providing intensive learning and growth experiences and connecting fellows in a cohort network as they move forward in their careers. The fellowship includes both U.S. and global fellows and addresses the continuum of local and universal issues related to health equity.
Our Vision
The profound, life-limiting disparities in health and health care that exist throughout the world can be combatted and mitigated. This can be accomplished by people — determined people, with the appropriate training, strategically located in health sectors around the world. The product of their work, in a thousand different settings, will be years of life gained and quality of life enhanced for millions of individuals, families and communities.
Our Mission
To develop global leaders who understand the foundations of health inequity and have the knowledge, skills, and courage to build more equitable organizations and communities.
Our Values
Our program and fellows’ guiding values include equity, inclusivity and an action orientation, shared pillars of the Atlantic Fellows community. The Atlantic Fellows for Health Equity also emphasizes courage, diversity, creativity and humility. These values are fundamental to, and borne of, the program’s interdisciplinary and intercultural approach to learning, community building and striving to overcome global challenges.
The Fellowship has enabled me to learn more about my weaknesses and my strengths. To learn how to be clear about my asks of others and how to turn the assets I have into the power that I need to get the change that I wanted.
