As a result, students develop essential skills different from those attained in academia and make the transition from being a graduate student to a professional. The Internship is a 12-week program. Each intern is assigned to a senior staff member who acts as his or her mentor. The mentor provides guidance and ensures that the intern's time is focused on substantive work and activities. Students can apply for winter, summer, or fall each year. For details and application information visit

    • Individuals with a public health background and a strong interest and/or experience in computer systems; OR prior training and/or experience in informatics/information systems and an interest in applying that knowledge in the public health arena. Acceptable educational credentials include: a masters degree (or doctorate) in a relevant discipline, such as statistics, epidemiology, computer science, or health services research; OR primary care physician/dentist/veterinarian with background or education in public health/disease state management/risk management or computer science, and demonstrated interest in health information systems/informatics; OR M.D., D.O. D.D.S., D.M.D., D.V.M., completing a residency in preventive medicine; OR health-care executive with graduate or professional degree, appropriate background (disease state management, risk management) and demonstrated interest and potential in public health informatics. Applicants who have completed their training within the past 3 years are preferred. Modern public health practice involves the increasingly sophisticated electronic systems with functions in areas such as automated reporting of notifiable conditions, rapid dissemination of data from public health surveillance and outbreak investigations, and expeditious access to prevention and practice guidelines. There is particularly strong need for development of networked systems to facilitate communication and interaction among public health personnel at all levels (local, state, and federal) and data interchange between the domains of clinical practice and public health. The Public Health Informatics Fellowship Program at CDC/ ATSDR provides a unique training opportunity for professionals interested in this evolving field. Fellowship participants are trained both in informatics and in public health. This experience equips them to guide the development, evaluation, and implementation of new public health surveillance and information systems, as well as the adaptation and support of existing ones. Fellows are assigned to project teams involved in both research and development of informatics systems and concepts crucial to the support of CDC/ATSDR=s mission of preventing disease and injury. Fellows are expected to work cooperatively with their teams and are given lead responsibility for one or more projects during the 2-year fellowship. A monthly stipend is paid to each fellow based on years of experience, education, and other qualifications. The monthly stipend is $1,850 - $2,935 for those with a masters degree and $2,405 - $3,600 for those with doctoral degrees. Each fellow is responsible for paying travel expenses to and from the program site. If official travel is required during the fellowship, the program sponsoring the fellow will reimburse for air fare, per diem, and miscellaneous expenses. The sponsoring program also pays for the fellow to attend two professional conferences each year. Duration: 2-years beginning each July. Fellows are placed with a CDC program office in the Atlanta area, or, potentially, at other locations.
