Our Mission & Vision
The Rollins Epidemiology Fellowship’s mission is to enhance Georgia’s state and local public health programs by training exceptional epidemiologists who passionately serve their communities through critical surveillance, outbreak response, and general public health practice. With our mission, we aim to support new epidemiologists and increase epidemiologic capacity throughout the state to serve communities in Georgia.
