“During my fellowship, I have worked on various projects using both SAS and R, gaining experience in data cleaning, transformation, data linkage, and analysis. This hands-on work has deepened my understanding of how data functions, enhancing my ability to problem-solve and adapt code effectively to real-world public health datasets.”

“Through the Nevada Applied Epidemiology Fellowship, I’ve had the unique opportunity to experience a variety of public health sectors. My host site has allowed me to explore the many components of epidemiology, offering hands on experience in how data informs decision making and public health interventions across different areas. This experience has contributed to my knowledge of public health systems, as well as helping me to recognize areas of public health that I would like to focus on in my career.”

“The fellowship has fast-tracked the skills I’ve obtained as a first-year epidemiologist and introduced me to some incredible people in public health.  The experience I’ve gained in research, analysis, and surveillance has been invaluable and will prove to be one of my greatest advantages as I progress through my career.”
