Applied Epidemiology Fellowships, CSTE
Category : Alumni
The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) application is currently open for both Class 20 and Class 21 of the Applied Epidemiology Fellowship (AEF) program application to accept new applications for placements for Class 20 (beginning by January 2023) and for Class 21 (Summer 2023).
At this time, CSTE has re-opened our application for Class 20 specifically for host sites with a focus on Maternal and Child Health. We are looking to fill the Maternal and Child Health host sites for Class 20 immediately! CSTE currently has one available host site placement focusing on Maternal and Child Health at the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Host Site Billets | CSTE Fellows (wpengine.com)).
The goal of AEF is to provide a high-quality on-the-job training experience in applied epidemiology for recent graduates and prepare fellows for long-term career placement at the state and local level. Based on their interests and available positions, fellows are matched to a State, Territorial, Local, or Tribal health department for two years under the guidance of two experienced mentors.
During their assignment, fellows develop a set of core competency skills related to epidemiologic methods, communication skills, public health practice and policy.
