CDC-Hubert

Global Health
Fellowship

Fellowship Overview
The CDC-Hubert Global Health Fellowship provides opportunities for third- and fourth-year medical and
veterinary students to gain valuable public health experience in an international setting, which encourages
students to think of public health in a global context.
Hubert fellows spend 6 – 12 weeks in a developing country working on a priority health problem alongside
field teams from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Through these experiences, students
establish relationships with, and receive training from, experts from CDC and other national and internation-
al health agencies. Each year, 10 fellows are selected to participate and receive a stipend of $4,000 to cover
travel expenses. Fellowship opportunities and locations vary each year.
