PUBLIC HEALTH PREVENTION SERVICE SPECIALISTS
The Public Health Prevention Service (PHPS) is now accepting applications for the 2010 class of prevention specialists. PHPS is a 3-year on-the-job training and service opportunity offered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to master's-level health professionals. PHPS responds to the growing need for public health professionals to develop practical skills to address increasingly complex public health issues.
PHPS provides valuable field experience for graduates early in their public health careers. PHPS focuses on public health program management and provides prevention specialists with experience in program planning, implementation, and evaluation through specialized hands-on training and mentorship at CDC, state and local health departments and other public health related organizations. In addition to on-the-job training, PHPS provides formal instruction in program management, epidemiology, surveillance, emergency response, and program evaluation. Prevention specialists participate in a variety of activities, such as seminars, evaluation projects, web-based trainings, temporary duty assignments, and conferences, all of which are designed to provide them with essential public health program management skills.
The class of 2010 will consist of approximately 25 participants and is scheduled to begin in October 2010. The application deadline is February 15, 2010. For information on applying to PHPS, including eligibility requirements, application instructions, and access to our online application, please visit our website at http://www.cdc.gov/phps or call the PHPS office at 404-498-6120.
