Child Family Health International (CFHI) tiene abierta la convocatoria para sus becas periódicas, cuyo objetivo principal es la participación en un Programa de Educación para la Salud Global CFHI. La próxima fecha de cierre es el 12 de noviembre de 2014.
El proyecto comprende una asignación de 500 a 1,000 dólares estadounidenses, en concepto de participación de cualquier Programa de Educación Global para la Salud de CFHI. (El monto no cubre el saldo restante de los honorarios del Programa CFHI, como así tampoco el boleto de avión). Las becas son designadas en Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, México, Sudáfrica o Uganda.
Para ser admitidos, los solicitantes deberán reunir los siguientes requisitos: demostrar un compromiso con sus comunidades, así como la necesidad económica y un interés en el intercambio de ideas y compartir experiencias con la gente en Bolivia, Ecuador, México, Argentina, India, Sudáfrica y Uganda. CFHI busca un grupo diverso de candidatos que estén comprometidos con la misión y visión de la CFHI. Se priorizarán aquellas personas de grupos étnicos subrepresentados en los programas de la CFHI, así como los que han tenido pocas oportunidades para viajar al extranjero. A su vez los solicitantes que deseen asistir en América Latina (México, Bolivia, Ecuador y Argentina) deben hablar castellano. Los beneficiarios deben escribir su experiencia clínica y cultural, que se utilizará como parte de su informe de becas presentadas al final de su programa. Deben tomar fotografías, que pueden utilizarse en el sitio web de CFHI y en publicaciones y materiales de CFHI. Es necesario que estén dispuestos a informar de su perspectiva sobre la diversidad en el país de recepción con especial atención en los contextos médicos y sociales.
