Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS)
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) is the nation’s premier applied epidemiology training program. This prestigious, two-year, paid postgraduate program trains health-related professionals such as anthropologists, epidemiologists, nurses, physicians, psychologists, sociologists, and veterinarians in the practice of applied epidemiology and public health.
CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (www.cdc.gov/injury) sponsors several EIS positions each year. The injury field needs additional qualified and well-trained researchers, and the EIS program offers graduating students and researchers interested in training in field epidemiology an opportunity to improve and expand their research skills, publish in peer-reviewed journals, and conduct epidemiological investigations while working for the nation’s leading public health agency.Learn more about the EIS program and the application process (deadline September 15) by visiting www.cdc.gov/eis.
