Elective in Public Health for Medical Students and Residents

The NYC Department of Health also offers an elective in public health for medical students and residents. The elective provides a unique opportunity for you to work with Health Department experts who are tackling urban public health issues. Trainees will help with a variety of activities that promote wellness and prevent illness in individuals, groups, and the population as a whole.

Current medical students and residents enrolled in an accredited medical school or residency training program are eligible for the elective. A basic medical school epidemiology course is not required, but completing such a course is helpful to the work done in the elective program.

For more information, see our Elective in Public Health for Medical Students and Residents Brochure (PDF).

To apply for the elective, email healthrp@health.nyc.gov.
