Fellowship Programme through European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) - a career path in Public Health
ECDC Fellowship Programme is a two years learning-by-doing programme available to nationals of EU/EEA Member State.

The fellowship programme is fully financed by ECDC and has two paths:
- EPIET (training public health professionals to become specialists in intervention epidemiology)
- EUPHEM (training microbiologists and other health professionals in public health microbiology)
and two tracks
- EU-track, in which fellows are placed after the selection in another country than the original country of citizenship.
- Member state (MS)-track, in which fellows stay in their own country of origin or residency.
Following the career of the fellows they all found jobs within public health and a vast majority in a leading position.
