 OVERVIEW
The goal of
the PHSF program is to encourage the pursuit
of and preparation for graduate-level study
for professional careers in public health.
The intent of this program is to increase
the number of minorities in public health
professions. The collaborating institutions
are: Morehouse School of Medicine, the
Rollins School of Public Health at Emory
University, and the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC). Over the last
10 years, support has come from the CDC
through the AMHPS Cooperative Agreement.
Since program inception, approximately 100
students have participated.
The program commences with an orientation.
Orientation is followed by a one day
diversity workshop and a 35 hour graduate
course in The Principles of Public Health.
Participants are assigned to community based
public health internships. These research
projects are supervised by experienced
public health professionals and scientists.
Weekly seminars will cover current public
health issues. Fellows have access to
libraries and activities on the campus’ of
the participating institutions. The use of
public transportation may be necessary to
reach certain project sites. Weekly leisure
group activities are planned to foster
bonding and team spirit.
