Below is a map of August 2023 cohort host sites and a list of some of the public health topic areas where previous fellows have worked.

Map of Current Cohort’s Local Health Department Host Sites

Fellows work in a variety of public health topic areas, depending on the needs of the local health department host site.

Previous fellows have worked in the following public health areas:

• Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health

• Communicable Disease Prevention and Control
• Disability Programs
• Emergency Preparedness
• Health Equity
• Community Health
• Planning, Evaluation and Policy

Fellows are matched to the host sites based primarily on geography as the Fellowship is an in-person job opportunity. The list provided above does not guarantee those topic areas will be available to fellows for each cohort or host site.​
