Since 1986, the MCH Epidemiology Program (MCHEP) has assigned almost 50 senior CDC epidemiologists to field sites. Assignments focus on building epidemiological, data use, and evaluation capacity. Assignees also help their host site build and mentor their epidemiology workforce (e.g., fellows, interns, and junior staff).
MCHEP CDC Epidemiology Assignees
MCHEP works collaboratively with state, local, and tribal public health agencies to host assignees. Currently, nine CDC senior maternal and child health (MCH) epidemiologists are assigned to state health departments.
