Finding Work in Global Health



A practical guide for job-seekers or anyone who wants to make the world a healthier place
by Garth Osborn and Patrician Ohmans.

New 2005 Edition with preface
by Nils Daulaire, MD, MPH, President and CEO of the Global Health Council.

“When I first read Finding Work in Global Health, I felt like I was reading the Lonely Planet guide to the life and career I have chosen. In approachable, human and humorous ways, Garth Osborn and Patricia Ohmans lay out the context, the scene, and some very practical advice that I wish I had had when I was first getting into this line of work. I enthusiastically concur that this is a terrific place to start for those looking to make a difference in global health. Who knows where it will take you? Just hang on for the ride of your life!”
—Nils Daulaire
President and CEO, Global Health Council
