The National Indian Health Board (NIHB) believes in the importance of building the public health workforce, where American Indians and Alaska Natives have the capacity to address the health needs of their own communities.
Committed to this goal, NIHB has partnered with the Morehouse School of Medicine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Emory University Rollins School of Public Health and the Minority Health Professions Foundation to implement the NIHB Public Health Summer Fellowship Program for American Indian and Alaska Native students.
NIHB would like to reach a large number of interested candidates and we need your help. Please encourage promising young college students or recent college graduates to apply for the fellowship!
The MSM/NIHB Public Health Summer Fellowship is directed toward rising junior, senior undergraduate American Indians and Alaska Natives. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, the MSM/NIHB Public Health Fellows will be individually mentored and trained for 9 weeks in health policy, programming, and research practices and engage with the Tribal Leaders helping the CDC implement its Tribal Consultation Policy.
Fellows will be provided with:Applications and a general program description for the MSM/NIHB Public Health Summer Fellowship are available online, please click here for link.
