The CIDRZ HealthCorps Fellows
Programme provides a valuable field training opportunity for future Zambian and
expatriate public health leaders in the setting of a vibrant international
organisation based in Lusaka. Fellowship attachments are 10-12 months long.
This HealthCorps Fellowship provides opportunities to gain field
experience in:
- Programme implementation and management

The HealthCorps Fellowship

international experience; and college graduates with substantial skills or
experience. Individuals with project management, public health, community
outreach, research coordination, data management, statistical analysis, IT,
scientific writing, and laboratory experience are particularly encouraged to
