In this episode, we're talking about the New York State Public Health Corps (NYSPHC) Fellowship program - an opportunity for you to get hands-on public health experience. Whether you are a public health student, a new grad, or transitioning into the field, and are looking to gain hands-on public health experience, this fellowship program is something worth looking into.

In this episode, Sujani sits down with 2 fellows currently in the program to give you a glimpse of what you can expect in this paid fellowship program and to hear about their journey.

After hearing from the two fellows, Sujani and the Assistant Director of the program discuss the fellowship in more detail and cover frequently asked questions.

We hope this episode inspires you to explore the NYSPH Fellowship Program further and take action - whether that's reaching out for more information or submitting an application.
