Welcome to Season 2 of Public Health On Call, a podcast from the Johns Hopkins

Bloomberg School of Public Health.

I'm Joshua Sharfstein, Vice Dean for Public Health Practice and Community Engagement,

and a former secretary of Maryland's Health Department.

Our goal is to bring scientific evidence and experience to the public health news of the day

through informative interviews with scientists, community leaders, policy experts, public

health officials, clinicians, and more. If you have ideas or questions for us to cover,

please email us at public health question at jhhhu.edu.

That's public health question at jhhu.edu for future podcast episodes.

Today, we are releasing a special bonus episode

with what might be an opportunity for you or for someone you know,

a chance for a full scholarship to the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

The program is called the Bloomberg Fellows Program, and it's part of the Bloomberg American Health Initiative.

You may be eligible to apply if you work in the United States now on one of these issues, addiction

and overdose, adolescent health, environmental challenges, obesity in the food system, or violence.

The deadline to apply for the program is December 1st. Learn more at Americanhealth.j.hU.edu.

That's Americanhealth.j.j.j.edu. That's Americanhealth.j.j.u.edu.

In this episode, Shannon Jones speaks with Fellowship graduate Maya Gibbons, current fellow Thaddeus

Fam of the Hawaii Department of Health, and Sarah Lester, director of the Maplewood Memorial

Library in New Jersey.

They speak about opportunities and experiences with the fellowship program.

Let's listen.
