Global Health Equity Internship

Catalog description

Prerequisite: 29279 Internship Preparation: Cultural and Ethical Global Engagement. Completion of a global health internship is a required component of the MS Global Health Equity program. The internship is an applied experience where students will collaborate with a global health organization in a specific geographical setting to complete a small project, program evaluation, or other educational or research activity. The primary purpose of completing an academic internship is to better understand the theories, ideas, and practices of global and public health by actively engaging in a hands- on, experiential learning experience. An internship will augment the student’s classroom learning and offer an opportunity and environment in which to learn. At the end of the internship, students will prepare a digital story of their learning outcomes and present it to program staff, faculty, internship partners, and stakeholders.
