The BCH Margaret C. Ryan Global Health Program offers competency-based global health learning for fellows and residents across disciplines at Boston Children’s Hospital. We prepare clinicians to address child health challenges worldwide by building skills to collaborate and innovate in diverse, locally tailored settings. Trainees pursuing careers in global health are selected through a competitive application process to join these Global Health Pathways, designed to shape tomorrow’s leaders in pediatric global health. Our Global Health Faculty bring expertise from multiple disciplines and global partnerships.

The Pediatric Infectious Diseases (ID) Global Health track is a combined fellowship overlapping with the 2nd and 3rd year of a three-year Pediatric ID Fellowship. This program prepares trainees for careers in childhood infectious disease within the context of global health.



The Maggie Ryan Endowed Fellowship in Global Health gives an early-career non-physician clinician or health professional protected time to pursue meaningful work in global child health. By creating dedicated space alongside clinical and other responsibilities, the fellowship allows recipients to build experience, contribute their expertise, and respond to emerging needs around the world. Inspired by Maggie Ryan’s own dream of becoming a nurse, the fellowship has a special connection to nursing and other non-physician health professions.

The Susana Ryan Endowed Fellowship in Global Health gives an early-career clinician or faculty member protected time to build and deepen their work in global child health. The fellowship creates dedicated space alongside clinical and academic responsibilities to develop partnerships, strengthen programs, advance research and education, and pursue opportunities to improve the health of children around the world.

In an effort to better support and collaborate with our global partners, we developed the BCH Global Pediatric Innovation Scholars program, an initiative to support partners from low- and middle-income countries in designing and implementing a project to improve pediatric clinical care or medical education in their home institutions.
