The ASPPH/NHTSA Public Health Fellowship Program offers excellent training opportunities aimed to strengthen the public health workforce, as well as strengthen the linkages between public health, traffic safety, and injury prevention by providing opportunities for early-career public health professionals to acquire and practice the skills needed to perform essential public health services as they pertain to traffic safety specifically, and public health in general.

The ASPPH/NHTSA Public Health Fellows are:

• Mr. Jeremiah Kinsman, graduate of Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, will be based in the Emergency Medical Services Office in Washington, DC.
• Ms. Monika Ramnarayan, graduate of Emory University Rollins School of Public Health, will be based in the Impaired Driving Division in Washington, DC.
• Ms. Nicole Booker, graduate of Emory University Rollins School of Public Health, will be based in the Occupant Protection Division in Washington, DC.

ASPPH would like to thank our partners at NHTSA for their continued support of these important public health workforce development programs.
