For updates on how COVID-19 has impacted this year’s program, visit https://www.cdc.gov/minorityhealth/internships.html
For information on COVID-19, visit the CDC's website.
On March 19, 2020, the CDC announced the cancellation of all CUPS/Ferguson activities for the summer of 2020 due to the
ongoing situation with COVID-19. While we know that this decision is best for the
health and safety of everyone, we want to acknowledge the disappointment, sadness
and many other emotions that our applicants may be feeling after this announcement.
We share those emotions with you.
We would like to thank all the applicants who took the time to apply for Michigan
FPHLP 2020. We are deeply grateful to the students who shared their interest in public
health with us, for they are the reason for this program. We look forward to accepting
applications again next year as we will continue our mission to provide opportunities
to underrepresented students to consider careers in public health and to explore health
equity.
Since the CDC's announcement, we received questions from applicants that we would
like to address. Please see the attached PDF with Frequently Asked Questions.
Sincerely,
Michigan FPHLP Team
