The APHL-CDC Fellowship Program is an opportunity for post-bachelor’s, -master’s and -doctoral scientists to engage in focused public health laboratory training and to join a network of dedicated public health laboratory professionals. A plethora of laboratory fellowship opportunities await in the following programs:
- Bioinformatics Fellowship
- Biorisk Management Fellowship
- Environmental Health Laboratory Fellowship
- Food Safety Laboratory Fellowship
- Infectious Disease Laboratory Fellowship
- Informatics Laboratory Fellowship
- Quality Management Laboratory Fellowship
- Ronald H. Laessig Newborn Screening Fellowship
Many fellowships are one-note; their opportunities are limited, their paths predetermined, and their results predictable. That’s where we come in. APHL provides public health laboratory fellowships with unparalleled opportunities. We believe in creating a sense of community, which is why we offer more than a fellowship program. We can give you a network where you can connect with dedicated professionals, all working together to protect the planet today from the public health threats of tomorrow. The experience is immeasurable, so we invite you hear more about the fellowship program experience in the following collection of stories and updates from past participants.
