Fellowship Accomplishments

Created in 2003, the Applied Epidemiology Fellowship is designed
for recent masters or doctoral-level graduates who are interested in
public health practice at the state or local level. This storied program
provides two years of rigorous training and valued mentorship that
is focused on three key concepts: 1) Create and train a core group of
public health workers, 2) Provide service to the sponsoring agency,
and 3) Strengthen capacity in applied epidemiology across public
health institutions. As evidenced by CSTE’s own Epidemiology
Capacity Assessment, gaps in the workforce are an ongoing concern

Fellows work closely with experienced epidemiologists at all levels
