About our program

Due to continued uncertainty around funding, the Oregon Institute of Occupational Health Sciences will not be offering the 2026 Summer Internship Program. We recognize the value this program provides to students and mentors alike and hope to resume it in future years as funding becomes available.

We encourage interested students to check back in early 2027 for updates on future opportunities.

Eligibility

Applicants must be Oregon residents or attend Oregon institutions of higher education and be working toward their first baccalaureate degree.  Students at all undergraduate levels may apply.
