The
Public Health Leader Fellowship Program (PHLFP) at Morehouse College is a rigorous 10-week summer program designed to prepare culturally sensitive undergraduate students for leadership roles in the field of public health. A principal aim of the program
is reducing health disparities. The program includes 2 weeks of public health educational training at Morehouse College with didactic learning in topics that include Introduction to Public Health & Health Disparities, Introduction to Biostatistics, Introduction
to Epidemiology, Scientific Writing, and Public Health Leadership. Students also receive 3 days of training at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) headquarters in Atlanta. During the final 8 weeks of the program, each student is paired with
a mentor to conduct a hands-on research project within CDC’s National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP).
Throughout the duration of the internship, students participate in weekly forums with opportunities for learning about public health leadership challenges faced by accomplished
guest lecturers with experience across a broad range of sectors. Students also receive weekly coaching support and participate in a leadership skills webinar series. The content of this leadership curriculum is based on the following public health leadership
competencies: public health leadership principles; collaboration and partnerships; articulating mission and vision; dialogue; team building; developing collaborative relationships to achieve goals; applying social justice principles; motivating others; and
demonstrating transparency, integrity, and honesty in all actions.
