New summer internship program:Epi Scholars Program at Public Health - Seattle & King County

Public Health - Seattle & King County (PHSKC) has been awarded a grant to design and implement a summer training program for graduate epidemiology students. The Epi Scholars Program is funded by the de Beaumont Foundation at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health and PHSKC; the NYC DOHMH serves as the lead agency. The program draws students from fifteen universities with schools of public health or epidemiology programs accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health, including the University of Washington, Oregon Health and Science University, University of California - Los Angeles, University of California - Berkeley, Stanford University, University of Southern California, San Diego State University, Columbia University, George Washington University, University of Michigan - Ann Arbor, Tulane University, Johns Hopkins University, Emory University, Yale University, and University North Carolina - Chapel Hill.For more info visit: http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/hr/epi-scholar.shtml.

Interns must have completed at least one year of graduate school including at least one advanced epidemiology course. They will focus on health disparities research in public health practice settings and complete a quantitative data analysis and write a report of the findings and their implications. The students will also complete a series of 5-6 workshops. At the end of the internship students will present their findings at a meeting at PHSKC.The 2012 internship starts June 11 and ends August 17; students will receive a stipend of approximately $8,400.

PHSKC expects to draw students from around the country and is very interested in assuring that OHSU epidemiology students know about the program.Program brochures and applications will be available by early January.
