NC Division of Public Health Fellowship

If selected for a fellowship position at NC DPH posted in our database, you will be enrolled in the Learning & Performance Program, which includes the following:

 

• Asynchronous Learning (E-Learns): Required e-learns based on the Public Health Services Framework that provide essential and contextual information about public health in NC and incorporate real-world examples, case studies, and knowledge checks. The e-learns complement the learning that takes place in monthly educational sessions and are designed so that content is applicable to staff in various public health roles.

• Synchronous Learning (Hybrid Educational Sessions): Required educational sessions once a month (mixture of virtual and in-person) that allow for hands-on practice building tangible and strategic skills needed for public health practice.

• 1:1 Coaching Sessions: Coaching sessions with a professional coach every month, where fellows can discuss professional goals, program progress, and their skills application project.

• Applied Learning Opportunities:

  • Skills Application Project: A required project to be completed during the fellowship that will be based on the fellow’s area of interest and expertise and allow for self-directed learning. Projects can be included in the professional portfolio and will be presented during the final monthly in-person educational session.

  • Professional Development Events: The opportunity to attend professional development and networking events identified by the Pathways Program Team. Fellow attendance is strongly encouraged at the North Carolina Public Health Association (NCPHA) Fall Educational Conference and the North Carolina Public Health Leaders Conference each year.
