What do interns do during the summer health internship?

The primary focus of the HCC health internship program and workshops are to provide students with exposure and work experience in public health and health-related settings. Interns will work on meaningful projects throughout the summer under the guidance of a preceptor.

Summer workshops are a mandatory compliment to student internships. Workshops are included in your 40-hour work week and typically occur during your work day. HCC workshops are designed to provide students with guidance related to career development, networking opportunities and a safe space to develop as a health equity champion.

Projects vary by organization, but may include topic areas such as, but not limited to: health promotion/education, community organizing, finance/accounting, policy analysis/advocacy, research, quality improvement, behavioral/mental health, communications and biotechnology.
