The Johns Hopkins Cochlear Center Fellows Program in Aging, Hearing, and Public Health is designed to provide an overview of public health concepts, methods, and strategies to assist clinicians and researchers around the world who are pursuing public health research and projects focused on addressing hearing loss in older adults.
Each year’s program is targeted to a specific region and held in partnership with a host institution. The program offers a blended classroom pedagogy of online lectures leading up to in-person discussions facilitated by Cochlear Center faculty.
Participants in the 2-part program are clinicians, researchers, and public health professionals interested in understanding and addressing the impact of hearing loss on older adults using public health methodologies.
Part 1 includes a 10-week online and on-demand training program that grants access to 27 lectures given by Johns Hopkins Cochlear Center Faculty. These topics include otolaryngology, audiology, epidemiology, biostatistics, gerontology, and public health policy/economics.
In Part 2, Participants convene at the host institution to network with clinicians from Johns Hopkins University and from around the region, and to join lectures and small-group discussions.
Interested applicants are required to submit:
- Curriculum vitae/Resume
- Brief description of why you would like to join the training
- One professional reference
There is no cost to participate. Some participants may qualify for housing. Travel will not be funded.
