What fellows do
Fellows gain hands-on experience applying instructional design principles while creating training that addresses real public health needs. Throughout the six-month fellowship, fellows work with experienced mentors to design, develop, and launch an online learning product. By the end of the program, the completed course will be published on TRAIN, where it can be accessed by public health professionals nationwide.

Hear from our fellows
Many graduates say the mentorship, collaboration, and hands-on experience were among the most valuable parts of the fellowship.
"The fellowship has been a great journey—6 months goes by so fast! The knowledge and experience shared by my mentor and fellow participants equipped me with the skills to develop my training.

"I had a lot of fun during this fellowship. The guest presenters were wonderful. I really enjoyed the weekly meetings with my mentor, Alyssa Azhari, where we went over upcoming assignments and strategies for designing a compelling e-learning product."

"My best memory of the fellowship will likely always be how wonderful the mentors were. Everyone was truly interested in my success and as a result, was just extremely responsive and helpful. Not only did I learn so much about instructional design, but I discovered that I really like it more than I knew."
