The Global Health Service Partnership (GHSP) is a pioneering program that will establish a “Peace Corps for doctors and nurses,” and over time will engage other medical professions. 

Physician and nurse educators work as Peace Corps Volunteers fully integrated on faculties of medical and nursing schools for one year deployments with the opportunity for renewal. Seed Global Health is the exclusive medical partner to the Peace Corps creating the most comprehensive global clinical capacity-building program to date.

Loan and debt forgiveness of up to $30,000 annually from Seed Global Health will be available.  GHSP volunteers will also receive benefits as Peace Corps Response volunteers, including: monthly living stipends, transportation to and from their country of service, comprehensive medical care, a readjustment allow­ance and vacation days. Volunteers will also receive significant technical training, malpractice coverage and support provided by Seed Global Health.

GHSP Peace Corps Volunteers serve one-year assignments as faculty members of medical and nursing schools in Malawi, Tanzania and Uganda.  

Applications are due November 1, 2013 for July 2014 deployment.
