Overview

The CDC-Hubert Global Health Fellowship is designed to encourage medical and veterinary students to gain a global perspective of public health through an experiential learning opportunity. Fellows are placed in 6-12 week assignments across the world, including but not limited to, Africa, Asia, and South America. Projects during field assignments allow fellows to develop skills in global applied epidemiology and gain hands-on experience working on a priority public health issue in a developing country. To-date, fellows have supported a variety of projects, for example:

• Clinical Studies of Tropical Acute Febrile Illnesses — Puerto Rico
• Curriculum Development, Field Epidemiology Training Program — Vietnam
• Cervical Cancer Surveillance — Yap, Federated States of Micronesia
• Launching a Rabies Control Strategy — Cambodia
• Prevention and Control of Viral Hepatitis — Egypt
• Pediatric Respiratory Etiology Surveillance Study — Kenya
• Evaluation of Rabies Control Programs — Guatemala
• Hepatitis C Elimination — Republic of Georgia
• Evaluation of a National HIV Drug Resistance Surveillance System — Swaziland
• Development, Implementation and Evaluation of Tools for Canine Rabies Elimination — Haiti

This fellowship provides a one-time stipend to cover travel and living expenses. Most schools award course credit for participation in this fellowship.
