Applications pouring into CDC s disease detective program By: Stephanie Stone, Scripps National Correspondent Posted at 3:26 PM, Feb 22, 2021 and last updated 2021-02-22 18:30:22-05 Want to be a disease detective? Applications are pouring in for a little-known program within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Officials are expecting more interest this year, and they’re hoping it continues to highlight the importance of public health. “Over the years, we’ve brought in 1500 future physicians and 600 future veterinarians,” says Kelly Cordeira. She heads up the Epidemiology Elective Program at the CDC. “It’s meant to provide students with the opportunity to gain experience with applied epidemiology in public health through a hands-on experience and mentorship by CDC scientists,” Cordeira said.
