Episode 006 – How to Gain Experience in Public Health

If you’re graduating from a public health program this spring, this episode is for you! Today we talk about post-graduate (undergraduate and master’s level) opportunities for people who want to get experience in public health but don’t know how to get their foot in the collective door of the field. In summary: fellowships, they’re cool.

Here are some fellowships and other things to check out! This list is not exhaustive. You still have to do at least a little work.
