INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES in the Department of Public Health
Public Health has exciting internship 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.
