Applications are open for the Harvard T.H. Chan Health Coverage Fellowship 2025. Hosted by the Center for Health Communication at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, the Health Coverage Fellowship is designed to help journalists like you do a better job covering critical public health issues. The fall program, which is entering its 24th year, brings thirteen journalists from across the country to Boston for an intensive nine days and nights of training.
Opportunity Details
Over the course of the fellowship, you'll hear from dozens of health officials, practitioners, researchers, and patients on issues such as mental health, pandemics, breakthrough treatments, climate-related health impacts, healthcare disparities, women's health, and aging. And you'll get to watch first-hand how the system works, whether by walking the streets at night with doctors who treat unhoused people or visiting labs that make stem cells and vaccines.
You will leave the fellowship with a notebook full of story ideas, a year's worth of mentoring by fellowship director Larry Tye, and a new community of likeminded journalists at local and national media outlets. The 2025 program will be held at the conference center outside of Boston from September 5-13.
