ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP:
Six (6) fellowship recipients will be selected for this exciting 8-week fellowship opportunity at Connecticut Children’s Injury Prevention Center (IPC).

Selected fellows will participate in this immersion into the field of injury prevention through readings, virtual discussions, and presentations by IPC faculty and staff.
The fellowship is open to students who identify as women, are U.S. citizens, and currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree-granting program of a college or university.
