The California Epidemiologic Investigation Service (Cal-EIS) is a one -year training program for promising epidemiologists to gain hands-on experience working with an epidemiologist preceptor in either local or state health department in California. Beginning July 1, each Fellow is assigned to a Preceptor in a Program within the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) or within a local health department. The specific opportunities will depend in part upon the Preceptor and Program. Assignments may be available in fields such as environmental health; infectious disease control; chronic disease control; maternal, child, and adolescent health; and others. At the beginning of the year, each Preceptor and assigned Fellow jointly identify and develop specific projects for the year. Fellows perform activities and achieve competencies over a broad range of public health/epidemiology functions. Previous fellows have performed descriptive and/or analytic epidemiologic studies, evaluated programs to determine their effects on the incidence or severity of health problems, and investigated disease clusters. Former Cal-EIS Fellows have studied problems ranging from the relationship of air pollution and cardiovascular mortality to COVID-19 response. If applicable, Cal-EIS Preceptors assist the Fellow in preparing the results of his or her studies for publication.
