Applications Open, California Epidemiologic Investigation Service (Cal-EIS) Fellowship

Category : Alumni

The California Epidemiologic Investigation Service (Cal-EIS) is a one-year training program for health professionals who have at least a master’s degree in a field related to public health. The mission of Cal- EIS is to prepare epidemiologists for public health leadership positions in California.

Beginning July 1 through June 30, each Fellow is assigned to a Preceptor in a Program within the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) or within a local health department (LHD). The specific opportunities will depend in part upon the Preceptor and Program. Assignments may be available in fields such as environmental health; infectious disease control; chronic disease prevention; injury and violence prevention; maternal, child, and adolescent health; and others.

At the beginning of the training year, each Preceptor and assigned Fellow jointly identify and develop projects. Fellows perform activities and achieve competencies over a broad range of public health/epidemiology functions. Previous fellows have performed descriptive and/or analytic epidemiologic studies, evaluated programs to determine their effects on the incidence or severity of health problems, and investigated disease clusters. Former Cal-EIS Fellows have studied problems ranging from the relationship of air pollution and cardiovascular mortality to COVID-19 response.

If applicable, Cal-EIS Preceptors assist the Fellow in preparing the results of his or her studies for publication.

The application is available here and must be emailed (or postmarked) by October 31. Supplemental documents (curriculum vitae, statement of purpose, and official graduate transcript(s)) must also be emailed or postmarked by October 31. Three (3) signed letters of recommendation are also required, the letter writers can email their letters directly to Cal-EIS: CAL_EIS [at] cdph [dot] ca [dot] gov
