IETA is now officially recruiting for its 2017 – 2018 Cohort 19. See details regarding our upcoming information sessions below. Please submit your application by Friday, July 7, 2017.

The International Experience and Technical Assistance (IETA) program is a developmental training program for Federal public health employees offered by the Center for Global Health (CGH) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia.

It consists of attendance at three (3) workshops in Atlanta, Georgia (3-4 days each) and a supervised short-term (12-week minimum) overseas assignment with an international public health program.
