Fellows to spend a week studying at CDC
The first class of AHCJ-CDC Health Journalism Fellows will learn about public health issues at two Atlanta campuses of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The fellowship program, supported by the CDC Foundation, will include presentations, roundtable discussions and lab tours on epidemiology, global disease prevention efforts, obesity, vaccine safety, pandemic flu preparedness, autism and many other topics. Fellows will tour the CDC director’s National Emergency Operations Center, meet sources on policy and research and learn how to tap the agency’s abundant resources to produce better stories.
Find out who the fellows are and learn more about the program.
