What is a Fellow? - PHI / CDC
The PHI/CDC Global Health Fellowship Program is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-funded program that offers recent global public health graduates from Council on Education in Public Health accredited schools and programs the exciting opportunity to participate in fellowships with guidance from leading global health experts from the CDC. Fellowships are yearlong placements within CDC offices working across six technical tracks. Fellows may have the opportunity to extend or apply to a new fellowship, but may not exceed three years maximum as a fellow. For a detailed description of what the fellowship placements entail, including overview, benefits and the application process, you can watch the recorded version of the Fellowship Experience Webinar or view our FAQ.
Check out this 2 minute video for a brief overview of the program:
Placements Overview
Full time, 6 – 12 month placements within CDC offices worldwide:
- Fellows are placed in CDC offices in Atlanta and country offices around the world. Applicants will have the opportunity to choose a preference of a domestic or international placement, though availability of specific placements is not guaranteed. Visit our Meet the Fellows page to view a map of current fellow placements.
- Fellows apply and work specifically in one of six technical tracks. Scroll down the page to find more information on each track. Length of fellowship placement may vary by opportunity.
- Fellows may renew or apply for other fellowships but may not exceed three years maximum as a fellow.
Fellows are contractors with the Public Health Institute.
- While our fellows work closely with CDC employees and other government staff, they are not employed by the CDC.
- Prior to joining the fellowship, incoming fellows will be issued fellowship agreements detailing policies and expectations for the fellowship year.
