abstract: 'Health disparities exist globally in high-income and low- and

  middle-income countries. They are driven by social determinants of

  health (SDOH). While a role for pharmacists in addressing SDOH exists, a

  lack of structured postgraduate training limits pharmacists from being

  equipped to build innovative programs and contribute to health policy on

  SDOH in an impactful way. Postgraduate training, specifically,

  fellowships provides opportunities for pharmacists to develop the needed

  skills for working with SDOH. The Purdue University College of Pharmacy

  (PUCOP)-United States Agency for International Development (USAID)

  Global Health Equity Fellowship was developed to meet this training

  need. This 2-y fellowship represents a partnership between USAID and

  PUCOP. During the fellowship, time is split between USAID in Washington

  DC, PUCOP in Indianapolis, Indiana, and the Purdue Kenya Partnership

  (PKP) in Eldoret, Kenya. The fellowship was developed with a foundation

  of core values, the creation of a logic model, strategic partnerships,

  maintaining an adaptable structure, and intentional partner

  communication. Fellow outcomes were evaluated in three categories:

  engagement, education, and scholarship. Fellows completed 10

  experiential opportunities between three sites and participated in the

  development of new and supported ongoing care programs and policy

  implementation in both local and international settings. Fellows

  completed the following educational outcomes: completed an online Master

  of Public Health (MPH) through Purdue Global, provided 13 educational

  presentations and lectures at various sites, and precepted a total of 12

  PUCOP advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) students and 16

  Kenyan pharmacy interns and Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) students.

  Fellows completed three publications and two abstracts at international

  conferences. This established training model provides pharmacists with a

  structured path to gain the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to be

  leaders in addressing Global Health Equity.'
