Deadline: January 10, 2027
Applications are open for the Wisconsin Population Health Service Fellowship Program 2027-2029. The Wisconsin Population Health Service Fellowship Program is a two-year service and training program designed for early-career public health professionals. Fellows enter the program with a graduate degree in public health or an allied discipline and are placed in community, nonprofit, governmental, or health-service organizations across Wisconsin, where they work to address some of the state’s most pressing public health challenges.
Through a curriculum focused on systems thinking, collaborative leadership, and strengthening public health practice, the program helps prepare the next generation of public health leaders. Over the course of their two-year fellowship, fellows gain broad exposure to knowledge, experiences, and areas of practice, ultimately helping them build their skills and grow as public health professionals.

You do not need to have a specific area of public health in mind, and we welcome applicants who are open to a range of opportunities and settings.
