To help achieve its mission of promoting health and quality of life, CDC provides postgraduate training and service programs for health scientists of diverse educational backgrounds. Many of these programs offer assignments in NCCDPHP, with the opportunity to work in several chronic disease fields— from a range of community health topics (e.g., diabetes, oral health, nutrition) to maternal and child health to cancer prevention and control. Activities include conducting public health surveillance, epidemiologic studies and behavioral interventions; disseminating guidelines and recommendations; and helping state and local health and education agencies increase their ability to prevent chronic diseases and promote healthy behaviors. Several postgraduate programs are coordinated through CDC’s Epidemiology Program Office, including the Epidemic Intelligence Service, the Preventive Medicine Residency, the Public Health Prevention Service, the Prevention Effectiveness Fellowship, and the Public Health Informatics Fellowship. The Presidential Management Internship is administered by CDC’s personnel office, and other postgraduate programs are available through CDC’s Public Health Practice Program Office as part of cooperative agreements with the Association of Schools of Public Health and the Association of Teachers of Preventive Medicine. This site provides general information on how to apply to these positions, as well as descriptions of NCCDPHP’s many program areas. What
