INTERNSHIP ALERT: The American Public Health Association (APHA) will be accepting applications for their fall cohort until June 5th! Both undergraduate and graduate students are eligible for unpaid APHA internships that offer practical work experience.

The internships are performed in-person (Washington, D.C.). This is a U.S.-based internship and candidates must be able to work in the U.S. during the internship. To assure that the intern maximizes his/her experience, we prefer to have students commit a minimum of 20 hours a week for a minimum of 8 weeks, and for those students visiting for a semester, full-time, if possible.

Benefits of APHA Internship
1. Academic credit (if appropriate).
2. One year free APHA membership, including:Ā The Nation’s HealthĀ andĀ American Journal of Public HealthĀ (only applies to students who are enrolled in a college or university during the internship period).
3. Capitol Hill visits (if appropriate), briefings or hearings.
4. Learning and development opportunities such as attendance at meetings and conferences sponsored by the National Library of Medicine, federal agencies or other leaders in the field of public health.
Attendance at National Press Club briefings (Communications interns)
