The Atlantic Fellows for Health Equity is a one-year non-residential fellowship program offered by the George Washington University that blends in-person and online learning to build comprehensive knowledge of national and global health disparities.
Fellows use the knowledge and connections they’ve gained through the program to build more equitable communities while continuing to support each other in the fight for fairer, healthier, more inclusive societies.
After completing their fellowship, fellows become Senior Fellows and join a vibrant and connected community of past cohorts.

Mentorship & Coaching
Fellows are given mentors that provide support and offer guidance and career development advice while putting the fellowship year in perspective. This fosters connections and network building within health equity and related fields. One-on-one coaching sessions are also an integral part of the fellowship, aimed to help fellows explore challenges in the application of leadership frameworks, the implementation of health equity projects, and provide an opportunity for reflection and feedback.
