Any undergraduate student that is interested in international community
health should know about the Mabelle Arole Fellowship, awarded annually
since 2002 through JSI Research and Training, Inc.  Candidates must be
admitted to medical school to be eligible.  If awarded the Fellowship,
they defer entrance to medical school for one year.  Applications are
due in mid-January 2010 and finalist are interviewed in mid-March at
AMSA conference.  Fellow departs US in late August and returns in early
summer of 2011.  The Fellow, who receives $8,000 to cover all expenses,
spends 10 months at the Comprehensive Rural Health Project at Jamkhed
(in Maharashtra), one of the best examples of how mobilized/empowered
communities can significantly improve their health/nutrition status.
All relevant information is available on the AMSA website (www.amsa.org,
search for Arole) which has link to Jamkhed site and contains reports by
previous Fellows.  Any questions can be directed to Dr. David Pyle at
