http://www.cdc.gov/eis/ApplyNow.html



The Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) is a 2-year, postgraduate
program of
service and on-the-job training for health professionals interested in
the
practice of epidemiology. Each year, EIS provides approximately 90
persons,
who have been selected from around the world, opportunities to gain
hands-on
experience in epidemiology at CDC or state or local health departments.
EIS
Officers, often called CDC's "disease detectives," have gone on to
occupy
leadership positions at CDC and other public health agencies nationally
and
internationally. However, the experience also is useful for health
professionals who want to gain a population health perspective.



Persons with a strong interest in applied epidemiology who meet at least
one
of the following qualifications may apply to EIS:

.         physicians with >1 year of clinical training;

.         persons with a PhD, DrPH, or other doctoral degree in
epidemiology, biostatistics, the social or behavioral sciences, natural
sciences, or the nutrition sciences;

.         dentists, physician assistants, and nurses with an MPH or
equivalent degree; or

.         veterinarians with an MPH or equivalent degree or relevant
public
health experience.



Applications are now being accepted for the July 2010 -   June 2012  EIS
Program. Information about the online application and EIS Program
