The Wisconsin Population Health Fellowship Program is a two-year service and training program designed for masters prepared individuals in public health and allied sciences. Candidates with doctoral degrees may also apply. The two-year program provides applicants with practical field assignments in community based, non-profit, governmental and health service organizations.
The primary goal of the Fellowship Program is to develop the next generation of public health practitioners skilled in planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health programs.
Dr. Patrick Remington, Director of the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute provides faculty direction to the program. The program is modeled after national applied training programs, such as the CDC Public Health Prevention Service Program.
At the heart of the program is a commitment to public service. Fellows receive direct hands-on training in high quality organizations working on relevant and timely public health issues. By the end of the two-year period, Fellows will have successfully completed the program's performance requirements. These requirements represent the core set of diverse skill sets necessary for managing public health programs. Placements have included the City of Milwaukee Health Department, State of Wisconsin and regional health departments, the March of Dimes, the American Cancer Society, Planned Parenthood and the Task Force on Family Violence.
