Practice Fellowship

Director: Trish Elliott, DrPH, MPH

2025-26 Practice Fellowship opportunities are now open. See below to apply!

We engage our community partners in the act of educating students, and students in the act of making a difference in community organizations through intensive, year long, supervised practice experiences. If this working with external organizations sounds appealing, the MCH Practice Fellowship may be a great opportunity for you!

MCH Practice Fellows will:

Commit to 8-10 hours per week over a period of 11-12 months
Attend regular research team meetings led by the faculty preceptor and colleagues
Attend a “research fellow roundtable” once per semester (with all research fellows and a faculty member)
Present their work at the annual MCH Forum at the conclusion of the fellowship period (early December)
Submit an abstract and present at a national or regional professional conference (optional)
