CDC
Fellowship for Medical Students
|
| The
CDC Experience is a one-year
fellowship in applied epidemiology
for medical students designed
to increase the pool of physicians
with a population health perspective.
Eight competitively selected
fellows spend 10-12 months
at the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC)
offices in Atlanta, GA, where
they carry out epidemiologic
analyses in areas of public
health that interest them.
This challenging and intellectually
stimulating environment provides
multiple opportunities to
enhance skills in research
and analytic thinking, written
and oral scientific presentations,
and preventive medicine and
public health. Graduates of
The CDC Experience will have
an appreciation of the role
of epidemiology in medicine
and health, and be able to
apply their knowledge and
skills to enhance their clinical
acumen and to work within
the larger health system.
CDC Experience graduates have
the potential to become future
physician-leaders and substantially
contribute to the quality
of the health care system.
Applications
for next year's fellowship
class must be postmarked
by December
5, 2005. For more
