Please note this program is an unpaid global health education program. There is a program fee required to participate. This program fee compensates our instructors fairly. CFHI is a nonprofit organization committed to fair-trade partnerships around the world.
The Virtual Global & Public Health Internship offers undergraduate, pre-health, and graduate-level participants the unique opportunity to learn foundational, industry-specific skills for careers in Global Health, Public Health, and related fields. Through virtual seminars and meetings, interns will explore public health issues in India, highlighting how communities address their most pressing health challenges including infectious diseases, sanitation and waste management, and access to safe drinking water. Interns will have the opportunity to network with healthcare providers and NGO professionals who are working to implement social reforms and improve public health outcomes in India.
