Undergraduate students and recent graduates with career interests in health care and public health can now apply for the Health Career Connection (HCC) Summer 2018 Internship Program! HCC offers the unique opportunity for interns to gain exposure, hands-on experience, and mentorship through internships in a variety of settings in health care/public health.
HCC interns are placed full-time with organizations such as hospitals, health systems, health policy institutes, health departments, community health centers, community-based organizations, and non-profits to work on a meaningful project. Interns gain concrete, marketable skills and knowledge of the health field. Interns are also provided with leadership training and professional development. Interns come away with in-demand skills, concrete life and career plans, connection to top graduate schools, mentors, and a network of supportive peers to help them throughout their journey.
HCC is committed to increasing representation of all racial and ethnic groups in the health professions. Students of color and of disadvantaged backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.
HCC connects interns to our graduate school partners, including: School of Public Health at UC Berkeley, UCLA, Harvard University, Columbia University, UNC Chapel Hill, UC Riverside, CSU Fresno and Schools of Medicine at UCSF PRIME, UCLA PRIME, Stanford University and Wake Forest Medical School.
The application period is now open and closes on December 20th, 2017. All majors are welcome as long as you have a demonstrated interest in pursuing a career in health. For more information please visit our website at www.healthcareers.org.
