Internship Program

Application for 2013-14 UCSF Youth Programs
- due June 3, 2013

We are currently recruiting our next group of students
for the Youth Steering Committee (program descriptions in Application).

The UCSF CoE Women’s Health Internship Program is an opportunity for individuals to explore areas of personal and career interest, to formulate future plans and pathways into the health profession, and to acquire the skills necessary to meet their goals. Since its inception in October 1996, the UCSF Women’s Health Internship Program has matched over 300 interns to women’s health professionals and projects throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Through the program, interns gain hands-on work experience in women’s health. We aim to make the internship a meaningful experience for the interns and their supervisors/hosts participating in the program.

The primary long-term goals of the Internship Program are to:

cultivate, prepare and educate the next generation of women’s health leaders
empower interns with knowledge of future career options and opportunities
provide individuals with the tools to develop and exercise strong communication and negotiation skills
develop working partnerships with academic institutions, other educational organizations, and community groups that represent the diversity of the Bay Area

Interns come to the UCSF CoE from a wide range of communities, schools, and organizations- primarily from the Bay Area but also beyond- many of which have on-going partnerships with the CoE. Our program is committed to serving diverse groups of women and girls.

Benefits of a CoE internship include:

Explore your interest in health
Gain access to an experience that provides personal health information
Develop leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills
Develop computer and professional employment skills
Enhance insight into the process of research, health care delivery, and health policy
