The Uganda Public Health Fellowship Program recruited the 5th cohort of Field Epidemiology fellows for 2019. The pioneer fellows were recruited in 2015; the program annually recruits fellows into the 2 year in-service training pro-gram. The new fellows are of mixed backgrounds, including Medicine, Pharmacy, Laboratory, and Nutrition. During their course of training, they will be disease detectives providing invaluable support to the different MoH departments. They have been attached to various priority host sites within MoH and related ministries. These sites include; Uganda National Expanded program for Immunization, National TB and Leprosy Program, Aids Control Pro-gram, Infectious Disease Institute. Other host sites are National Malaria Control Program, Non-Communicable Dis-eases Division, Vector Control Division, National Animal Disease Diagnositic and Epidemiology Center, and Reproductive health. Best wishes, disease detectives!
