Are you ready to take your reporting to the next level? The Association of Health Care Journalists (AHCJ), in collaboration with the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing and the Society of Environmental Journalists, is now accepting applications for the National Science-Health-Environment Reporting Fellowships (SHERF), a yearlong program designed to empower early-career journalists covering the critical intersections of science, health and the environment.

This unique fellowship allows participants to keep their current jobs while engaging in hands-on training, exclusive workshops and mentorship from veteran journalists and experts. Fellows will deepen their storytelling skills, gain access to new sources and explore pressing issues shaping public understanding such as climate change, environmental justice, health equity and scientific innovation.

In this webinar, participants had the opportunity to ask questions about the fellowship and hear from SHERF alumni about their experience. Don’t miss your opportunity to join this dynamic community of science, health and environment reporters driving meaningful change.
