About the Program |
EIS officers are selected from among highly qualified applicants drawn to public health service and interested in practicing applied epidemiology. EIS officers may be assigned to work in the areas of infectious or noninfectious diseases, global health, chronic disease, injury prevention, environmental health, or occupational health. We are particularly interested in applicants whose coursework and experience indicate flexibility and who have a record of high academic achievement, teamwork, innovation, and leadership. Applicants show interest in public health work through the course selection in their academic transcripts, research or dissertation (if applicable), or prior experiences with governmental or nongovernmental public health agencies. Successful applicants demonstrate that EIS is a logical career path and that they will benefit from the applied training through service that defines the EIS program.
