Internship opportunities

What is an Internship? An internship is an experiential learning opportunity which provides a different experience as compared to a part time job or volunteer work.  An internship or practicum is an educational experience with ongoing communication between the student, the student’s advisor and the employer’s preceptor.  During the internship or practicum, the student should have the opportunity to link key academic knowledge to practical work experiences.  In most situations, the student and the preceptor outline a set of agreed upon internship objectives, against which the student is evaluated at the end of the opportunity.  Below is a partial list of internship links; your own employment search may generate a more comprehensive list particular to your area of interest.   Internship Links Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality American Cancer Society American College of Healthcare Executives Minority Internship American Red Cross Association of Schools of Public Health CARE USA Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC Office of Minority Health Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Center for Science in the Public Interest DHHS Emerging Leaders Program Environmental Internship Programs Food and Drug Administration Foundation for Sustainable Development GlaxoSmithKline Summer Intern Program Global Health Council Global Service Corps Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities Hispanic-Serving Health Professions Schools/CDC Idealist.org Actions Without Borders Listings Institute for Alternative Futures Internsearch.com Internship Directory IntraHealth International Kaiser Family Foundation (media) Mayo Clinic National Academy of Social Insurance National Cancer Institute National Institutes of Health NIH Office of Biotechnology Activities NIH Office of Extramural Research National Wildlife Federation NC Prevention Partners NC Society for Public Health Education Listing Office of Water Public Health Development International Resources for the Future Science.gov Internship Listings The Carter Center The World Bank United Nations Headquarters USAid Global Health Fellows USAid Volunteer Student Interns
