Title:
If You Can’t See Where You’re Going, Ask Someone Who's Been There Before: Promoting Workforce Development Through CDC’s Public Health Law Fellowship
Description:
Achieving health equity requires all peopleregardless of race, ethnicity, gender identification, disability, socioeconomic status, geographic location, or other societal constructsto have fair access, opportunity, and the necessary resources to achieve their highest potential for good health and wellness in all dimensions. As a nation, the U.S. is far from achieving that goal, but one avenue currently being pursued to advance toward it is strengthening the public health law workforce while also increasing diversity within the field and preparing the next generation of public health law professionals. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Public Health Law Fellowship is doing just that.
Conducted in partnership with ChangeLab Solutions, the fellowship is providing current students and recent graduates (e.g., MPH, DrPH, MPA, PHD, JD) with on-the-job training for careers in public health law and policy. Presenters will talk about their fellowship experiences, lessons learned, and current work. There will be time for Q&A.
