The Center for Healthy Communities in the Department of Social Medicine, Population and Public Health at the UCR School of Medicine offers unpaid internships in public health for students attending undergraduate health administrative programs.

Internships can be for-credit as part of a formal externship or not-for-credit during student breaks.

Who May Apply

Students must be in good standing and currently enrolled in an accredited undergraduate degree–granting program in health administration, business administration with a health concentration, or health/public policy.

Current affiliated programs include:

•     California State University San Bernardino Program in Health Administration
•     California Baptist University Health Sciences
•     La Sierra University Zapara School of Business

Programs must have a formal affiliation with UCR SOM in order to begin their internship.

Students attending programs where no current affiliation exists may still apply with the understanding that the application may take longer as an affiliation agreement will need to be executed prior to the student joining UCR.

How to Apply

To apply, students should email a resume and letter of interest. Submissions are accepted throughout the year.
