Purpose
The purpose of the Center’s internship program is to provide a framework for students to gain direct, supervised volunteer experience in population health research and evaluation projects.  In addition to gaining valuable experience in population health, students will receive:

• Opportunities to collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team of Center Scientists around population health issues,
• Hands-on learning in their area of interest,
• Recognition of contributions in Center communications (such as website, annual report, etc.),
• Notice of community and professional development opportunities,
• Access to library resources across institutions, and
• Letter of recommendation upon satisfactory completion of placement.

Internship opportunities are based on availability of projects.
