Program Description
The Epi Scholars Program has provided rigorous training in applied epidemiology to stellar graduate epidemiology students at the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). The program is committed to expanding the research capacities of urban health departments to improve population health, while providing a training ground for students to put theory and research into action and develop as future public health leaders. The program offers graduate epidemiology students from select schools:
- An allowance to defray expenses for a full-time 10-12 week summer internship at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene
- Mentoring by some of the nation’s leading epidemiologists and researchers
- Enhanced academic opportunities and seminars in methods, theory, and public health practice
- Practical experience in statistical analysis using programs such as SAS®, SPSS®, STATA®, or SUDAAN®
- Opportunities to present project findings to senior epidemiologists and their peers
- Possibility of working on a publishable report/ thesis support
- Opportunities to interact and collaborate with Epi Scholars and public health professionals from across the country
Epi Scholars program alumni have gone on to accomplish great things: present at significant public health conferences, pursue doctoral degrees and gain employment at the local and federal levels of government. As a partnering school we are pleased to make this opportunity available to top graduate epidemiology students at Emory. Selected students will intern at the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in New York City, experience research in action, and join the Epi Scholars program’s growing network of public health leaders in-the-making!
