The CDC Experience Applied Epidemiology Fellowship
|
|
Description
|
Grant Amounts: Fellows will receive an annual stipend of up to $33,600 to be paid in monthly installments of $2,800 per month through the CDC Foundation.
The CDC Experience Applied Epidemiology Fellowship is a one-year fellowship in applied epidemiology for medical students. The program is designed to increase the pool of physicians with a population health perspective. Each year, eight competitively selected medical students from around the country spend 10-12 months at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta. At CDC they gain an in-depth understanding of applied epidemiology, the role of epidemiology in medicine and health, and the role of physicians in the public health system. With the guidance of experienced CDC epidemiologists, they perform epidemiologic analyses and research, design public health interventions and assist in field investigations.
Possible areas of concentration include birth defects, injury prevention, chronic disease, infectious disease, environmental health, reproductive health, and minority health.
This challenging fellowship provides multiple skill-building opportunities for physicians-in-training. CDC Experience fellows develop improved research and analytic thinking skills, receive coaching on written and oral scientific presentations, and gain an in-depth knowledge of epidemiology, preventive medicine, and public health. Fellows will be able to apply the knowledge and skills acquired through The CDC Experience in their future careers to enhance their clinical work and their work within the larger health system.
