CONSIDER A FELLOWSHIP
To gain experience and get your foot in the door of many federal agencies, you may want to consider a fellowship after graduating. Fellowships usually pay a professional salary (typically about $33,000 to $37,000), as well as provide benefits (insurance, vacation, etc.).
A fellowship provides recent graduates the ability to work alongside leaders in the field of public health as well as access to the latest technologies. Below you will find some common websites that contain information on fellowships. You can also do an internet search by typing “public health fellowship” in the search engine. Fellowship opportunities will also be emailed to all SPH students as well as alumni who are enrolled in the electronic Career Distribution List.
