Global Strategies Volunteers

Global Strategies builds longitudinal educational relationships with local organizations and healthcare providers in the countries where we work. Global Strategies Volunteers develop these relationships through

• Shoulder-to-shoulder clinical training
• Professional mentorship for community leaders
• Introduction of novel technologies developed by Global Strategies for low-resource settings

Eligibility: Eligible Volunteers are neonatal nurses, pediatric in-patient nurses, labor and delivery nurses, nurse midwives, board certified pediatricians, family practitioners and OB/GYNs. Pediatric care providers should be comfortable with neonatal care.

How to Apply

Interested applicants are requested to provide a CV, brief personal statement and a list of two references with contact information.
