NYSPHC Offboarding Checklist for Fellows

Thank you so much for your participation in the New York State Public Health Corps Fellowship Program. Your work positively impacted the community and made New Yorkers healthier and safer. As you embark on the next phase of your professional journey, the NYSPHC team would like to share the following reminders with you to ensure a smooth transition.

Please let us know what else you’d like to see on this Offboarding Checklist for Fellows by completing this Feedback Form.

Save the Training & Resources Website URL for Future Reference

Be sure to save this website URL for future reference! The NYSPHC Team will continue to curate content to add to the Training & Resources website, especially to the following sections:

• Mental Health Resources
• Public Health Careers
• Fellow Resources
• Fellow Directory
• Public Health Trainings
• Public Consulting Group Resources
• Events Calendar
• Shout Outs

The Training & Resources Website Workgroup is currently exploring other options for hosting important content if the NYSPHC Fellowship program ends, and the Training & Resources website is no longer available. We will update all past and current Fellows with a new URL if that time comes.

Fellow Directory

The Training & Resources Website Workgroup is providing an opportunity for Fellows to share additional contact information with each other through the Fellow Directory so those who want to stay in touch post-Fellowship can do so.

Please complete this brief questionnaire to provide additional contact information through the Fellow Directory. If you did not initially complete a profile to be part of the Fellow Directory but would like to do so now, complete the original Fellow Directory Profile Questionnaire.

As a reminder, participation in the Fellow Directory is OPTIONAL.

New York Rural Health Association - The New York Rural Health Association (NYRHA) is offering Fellows a membership to their organization at a discounted rate of $50. However, for current Fellows, they have created a discount code that eliminates the $50 fee, so that membership will be free for the first six months. Please use the discount code PHC2025 when checking out. A membership with NYRHA will provide great networking and training opportunities for Public Health Corps members. If you are interested in rural health, think about joining!

Keep the Shout Outs Coming

We recognize that these have been unprecedented times, filled with challenges and constant change. Despite the difficulties, it’s more important than ever to continue recognizing the hard work and dedication of those around us. Whether it’s a colleague or a supervisor, taking a moment to celebrate each other’s accomplishments not only boosts morale but also contributes to a positive and supportive work environment. 

That is why we’re encouraging you to share a Shout Out for those who are going above and beyond! Recognizing the amazing work of NYSPHC participants – Fellows, Supervisors, Mentors and anyone else involved in the program – adds value to the entire team and highlights the effort that often goes unnoticed. 

If you’d like to give a colleague or supervisor a well-deserved shout out, simply use the link here: Feedback | New York State Public Health Corps. It’s quick and easy, and your recognition will be shared with the whole program. 

Update Your Contact Information

If your personal contact information changes, please reach out to your Fellowship Program Specialist to provide the update.
