The Epidemiology Elective Program (EEP) introduces medical and veterinary students to applied epidemiology and public health. Students learn by gaining hands-on experience and mentorship from subject matter experts in public health. This program offers assignments during 6- or 8-week rotation periods based at CDC, other federal agencies, and state, tribal, local, and territorial health departments. Students work in a wide range of public health topic areas such as infectious diseases, chronic diseases, injury prevention, environmental health, and occupational health. To be eligible for the Epidemiology Elective Program (EEP), you must be a U.S. citizen, and a medical or veterinary student enrolled full-time in a U.S.-accredited medical or veterinary school located in the United States.
