Since 1995, ASPPH Fellowship Programs have contributed to efforts to build an effective public health workforce by placing public health graduate students in federal agency offices in the U.S. and around the world. Under the guidance of mentors, participants complete one to three-year assignments and experience first-hand how to apply public health theory and knowledge in practical settings. ASPPH fellows train in areas such as monitoring and surveillance, program management, research, evaluation, informatics, statistics, epidemiology, and policy while making meaningful contributions to important public health programs.
Through a variety of fellowship programs, ASPPH has cultivated the professional development of more than 1,200 newly graduated public health professionals through fellowship placements at the de Beaumont Foundation, CDC, EPA, HRSA, NHTSA, USDA, the Executive Branch, and U.S. Congress. Nearly 600 fellows have trained through the ASPPH/CDC Public Health Fellowship Program, the very first ASPPH fellowship program.
All fellows successfully complete a multi-phase application and selection process to become fellows.
