Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Health Workforce Development

Background:

  • The Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) program, established in 1951 by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), trains health professionals in applied epidemiology.
  • Understanding the long-term leadership impact of such training programs is crucial for public health workforce development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the representation of EIS alumni in key public health leadership positions.
  • To assess the contribution of epidemiology training programs to the leadership capacity of the public health workforce.

Main Methods:

  • A quantitative analysis was conducted on individuals occupying five select leadership positions.
  • Data on the number of Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) alumni in these positions were collected and analyzed.
  • Demographic data, including professional background and departmental assignment, were examined for alumni in leadership roles.

Main Results:

  • EIS alumni comprised 52% (185/353) of individuals in the studied leadership positions.
  • Alumni representation varied by position: 33% of CDC Directors, 58% of CDC Center Directors, 35% of State Epidemiologists, 56% of FETP Resident Advisors, and 90% of CEFOs.
  • Physicians formed the largest group (74%) of alumni in leadership, with 51% assigned to state or local health departments.

Conclusions:

  • The Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) program demonstrably contributes to the pool of public health leaders.
  • Epidemiology training programs are a critical resource for strengthening the public health workforce, a need highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
