Employers consistently emphasize that hands-on experience is one of the most valuable assets an applicant can offer. While the Practicum, or other capstone project, provides a solid foundation, many employers encourage candidates to further enhance their qualifications through internships or fellowships. To support this desire, we have created these pages to present many of the available internships and fellowships that might be appropriate for our students.
We have divided these opportunities into the following categories (either click the links below, or select the subtabs in the dropdown menu for this tab):
Public Health
Dental Public Health
Environmental & Climate Health
Health Administration
Health Professions Education
Kinesiology
Nursing
These categories tend to overlap, so don't limit your perusal to just one category. The opportunities listed are just some of the hundreds of internships and fellowships funded by the government and private sector organizations.
Zintellect - powered by the Oak Ridge Associated Universities - keeps track of many of these opportunities. Go to https://zintellect.com/ and input 'public health' (without the quotation marks) or similar phrases to find even more opportunities suited for you.
Also check with your local public health department or local health networks. Many local departments and institutions offer fellowships and/or internships.
