Overview

The CDC E-learning Institute Fellowship (ELI) is designed to cultivate skills of public health training professionals with limited experience designing or developing e-learning products.

Through a partnership between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Public Health Foundation (PHF), ELI is a six-month online fellowship that offers access to CDC-developed materials and subject matter experts, as well as the opportunity to learn from peers in a positive, experiential environment.
