Public Health Laboratory Fellowship Program, Association of Public Health Laboratories
Category : Alumni
The Public Health Laboratory Fellowship Program aims to strengthen laboratory systems and workforce needs by developing the next generation of public health scientists! Thus, the fellowship program will focus on training participants in alignment with established laboratory core competencies and offer experiential learning opportunities across laboratory science focus areas.
Fellowship terms are one year, with a possible extension for a second year, depending on the fellowship and funding availability.
APHL offers flexible start dates to meet fellow’s and mentor’s needs.
Fellows will work on projects specific to a laboratory science focus area that will support public health, One Health, and other initiatives. Below are examples of the different focus areas fellows could be matched with and placed into:
- Bioinformatics
- Biorisk Management
- Emergency Preparedness and Response
- Environmental Health
- Food Safety
- Infectious Disease
- Informatics
- Quality Management
- Ronald H. Laessig Newborn Screening
Fellows are placed in host laboratories which include state and local public health laboratories and non-federal academic, agricultural, chemical, environmental, food safety and veterinary laboratories. Regardless of host laboratory type, the fellow will still be trained in techniques and competencies that are transferrable to a career in public health laboratory science.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
