MKM Fellowship
The Maeve Kennedy McKean Global Public Health Fellowship is named in honor of Ms. Maeve Kennedy McKean, the former Executive Director of the Global Health Initiative at Georgetown University, who tragically passed away in an accident in April 2020.
Ms. McKean devoted her life to improving the health and rights of people around the globe. Among her long list of accomplishments, Ms. McKean served as the first-ever Senior Advisor for Human Rights in the State Department's Global AIDS Program, appointed to the post during the Obama Administration. She also taught "Bioethics and Social Justice" at Georgetown Law and "Conversations in Global Health" at the School of Foreign Service.
This fellowship was created by the University of Maryland, Baltimore's School of Medicine and the Institute of Human Virology. Fellows will work with the Ciheb team on efforts to end the HIV epidemic in Africa.
