Appel d'offres: Swiss Harkness/Careum Fellowships

The Commonwealth Fund has collaborated with the Careum Foundation since 2009 to establish the Swiss Harkness/Careum Fellowships in Health Care Policy and Practice.

The Harkness Fellowships provide a unique opportunity for mid-career professionals—academic researchers, government policymakers, clinicians, hospital and insurance managers, and journalists—from Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, to spend up to 12 months in the United States studying a critical issue on the health policy agenda, working with leading U.S. health policy experts, and gaining in-depth knowledge of not only the U.S. health care system, but also those of Fellows' home countries. The Commonwealth Fund also brings together the full class of Fellows throughout the year to participate in a series of policy and leadership seminars with U.S. health care leaders drawn from government, politics, health care organizations, and academia.

The deadline for receipt of applications from Switzerland is November 19, 2012.
