      The Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS), CDC's "Disease Detectives",
is a unique two-year, post-graduate program of service and on-the-job
training for health professionals interested in the practice of
epidemiology.

      Every year, EIS selects up to 90 talented individuals from around the
world for the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the practice of
epidemiology at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters
campuses or in the field at state or local health departments. EIS is often
a steppingstone to careers and leadership in public health, but is also
useful for health professionals seeking to enhance their skills with a
population health perspective.

      Please share this training information with colleagues and students
who have a strong interest in applied epidemiology and who meet one of the
following qualifications to apply to the EIS:

      * Physicians with at least one year of clinical training

      * PhD, DrPH, or doctoral-degree holders in epidemiology,
biostatistics, the social or behavioral sciences,
        natural sciences, or the nutrition sciences

      * Dentists, physician assistants, and nurses with a Master of Public
Health (MPH) or equivalent degree

      * Veterinarians with an MPH or equivalent degree or relevant public
health experience

      Non-U.S. citizens are eligible as described above to apply; however,
each year more than 100 applications are received from non-U.S. citizens;
due to the U.S. domestic nature of the program, only a small number of these
applicants are invited for interview and ultimately accepted in the program
