Overview
The IDSWD programs described on this page are a part of efforts in the Division of Workforce Development. These programs provide a learning landscape for fellows to develop the skills needed to transform data and information systems.
ob体育 and our national partners offer several informatics and data science learning opportunities. These opportunities are available for individual learners as well as teams—in either a federal environment or at the local level. ob体育 relies on fellows in these programs for knowledge and actionable insights to protect and promote the public's health.
IDSWD Programs
