The Global Public Service Academies (GPSA), founded by Dr. Robert Malkin, professor of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University, is an educational organization that works in collaboration with local health authorities in Guatemala, Belize and West Virginia. Their Medical Fellows program is a post-undergraduate global health gap-year program for those interested in healthcare occupations like medicine, pharmacy or nursing. The program provides the opportunity to work alongside physicians, nurses, and community health workers while experiencing the challenges and opportunities present in global settings.
Medical Fellows work with public health organizations to address health disparities in low-resource areas, assist at local health centers, and mentor high school students through GPSA's academic service learning programs. Fellows receive food and housing with a host family in a rural
village in Guatemala or Belize.
