The 6 class of Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health program is a paid residential one-year leadership and community training program that accepts applications from all specialties (medical and non-medical). It aims at individuals who want to work with the Global Brain Health Institute on their mission to protect the worlds aging populations from threats to brain health. The classes can be taken at either the University of California, San Francisco (USA) or Trinity College Dublin (Ireland).
After fellowship, the institute accompanies trainees to implement activities in their home region. According to the institute, about 2/3 of fellows return to their countries with a $25,000 USD grant to implement change locally with a focus on public health approaches and equity through the Pilot Awards for Global Brain Health Leaders.
Optimal candidates are passionate about this type of work and are typically in the early stages of their careers with a local champion that will allow them to spend a year abroad and return to their post. The 6 class of Atlantic Fellows will begin in September 2022. More information and links to apply can be found at:
