The mission of the PACE fellowship program is to enhance the understanding of public health and its cultural and language components, through educational and international development projects in Mexico and Latin America. The fellowship is designed to provide a clinically focused understanding of issues and their cultural underpinning, while promoting participating in international development projects.
PACE fellowship is the innovative fusion of language and cultural learning, within an international development and service curriculum. We are the only fellowship program that stresses language, cultural acquisition, and Latin America. All fellows are encouraged to pursue an MPH.
