INTERNSHIP and VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES in the Department of Public Health
Public Health has exciting internship and
volunteer opportunities available for undergraduate and
graduate students. These positions, all within the Los
Angeles County Department of Public Health, will
complement education with experience to best prepare
candidates for the professional public health world
awaiting them upon graduation.
Opportunities range from HIV epidemiology
or prevention, emergency preparedness, tobacco control,
women’s health, environmental health, health policy,
health communications, or community health in the field.
These are just a few of the topics we handle day to day.
The following internship programs are some ways students
can get involved.
