Study Tour Fellowship
The World Health Organization (WHO)Study tours
A study tour is a form of fellowship in which a group of health workers or scientists visits one or more countries to study local problems and methods of dealing with them. It is a fact-finding mission, an educational experience and an opportunity to establish international linkages and collaborations. Study tours can also take the form of tailor-made short-term training courses.
In order to be eligible, candidates must be health workers or scientists in good health that have been nominated by their national health administrations. Candidates are typically not over 55 years of age. Once selected, they are required to follow the authorized itinerary and submit a final report describing their findings and impressions
