Online Again This Year!

Outbreak! is an interactive, challenging and fun program designed to introduce high school students to the history and importance of public health. We have an exciting digital format and welcome students from around the country to participate in this free program. Students learn about epidemiology and a wide range of other public health careers, collaborate on teams guided by peer mentors, and have the chance to network. Students  engage in live Q&A sessions, breakout rooms, and many return to help guide new students each year. We welcome your student to join this informative, educational and unique program, now in its ninth year.
