Mentoring
current student opportunities
Available: 02/18/22, Expires: 05/30/23

This scholarly project seeks to create and implement educational modules for HMS students engaged in global health scholarly projects or with interest in the topic. The methods will include literature review, Kern's Six Step Approach to curriculum development, pedagogical strategies, and assessment. The student will have the opportunity to lead this project from start to finish (Jan 2022 - May 2023). With appropriate supervision from faculty mentors at Harvard and abroad, student responsibilities will include course development, creation and implementation of an assessment tool, data collection tools, data analysis, and drafting a manuscript. The findings may have broader application at medical schools in the US and worldwide. Quantitative and qualitative data analysis skills will be particularly helpful.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
