The HSHPS/CDC Student Training Programs are a part of a cooperative agreement between Hispanic-Serving Health Professions Schools (HSHPS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The program began in 2002 and is designed “…to foster the development of public health and research skills of Hispanic medical and public health students in order to increase the number of students who pursue careers in epidemiology, preventive medicine, and public health research.”

The programs provide students with research/clinical experiences that will enhance their knowledge of current techniques in surveillance and interventions directed at improving the health of Hispanic populations.

HSHPS offers three training programs: the 10-week Student Internship Program, located at the CDC headquarters or at a satellite office; the U.S.-Mexico Border Program; and the 6-month Student Fellowship Program at CDC offices.

Selected students will be featured in a HSHPS Press Release distributed to over 200 national and local newspapers.
