LLS is a new 2-year CDC laboratory fellowship program that combines competency-based public health laboratory training with practical, applied investigations and service. LLS focuses on biosafety, quality management systems, and management and leadership competencies.
The program is aligned with CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) to promote interdisciplinary training, applied learning, and networking. EIS has successfully trained epidemiologists for more than 60 years.
The 2015 inaugural class of 7 LLS fellows begins in July 2015. The fellowship program is accepting applications for the 2016 class from May 18, 2015, to August 17, 2015.
