Ferguson Fellowship Program for Minority and Women’s Health

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Ferguson Fellowship Program

The Dr. James A. Ferguson Emerging Infectious Disease Fellowship Program provides educational and experiential opportunities for racial and ethnic minority medical, dental, pharmacy, veterinary and public health graduate students in a broad array of public health activities. Ferguson Fellows are engaged for eight weeks in a rigorous program of public health research and/or intervention, which they summarize in a scientific presentation at the end of the session. Ferguson Fellows’ travel and housing expenses are paid, and they receive a stipend for the summer.

The Ferguson Fellowship Program is administered by the Minority Health Professions Foundation, one of CDC’s key partners. For more information or to request an application, contact the Minority Health Professions Foundation at 404-756-8931, or go to their website at http://www.minorityhealth.org.
