PIH Institute for Health and Social Justice Summer Internship Program

Every year, PIH's research and advocacy arm, the Institute for Health and Social Justice (IHSJ) hosts a summer internship program for a select number of students and professionals early in their careers who are interested in learning about current issues in health and social justice. In addition to working on individual projects, summer interns have a unique opportunity to learn firsthand about PIH and gain practical exposure to the administration of a non-governmental organization through interactions with staff members, movie and book discussions, and social activities.

The deadline for submitting applications for the summer 2008 internship program was February 15. The limited number of internship slots available for this summer have now been filled and all applicants should have been informed of our decision. We thank everyone who applied for their interest in PIH and in the cause of health and social justice. Information and an application form for the 2009 internship program should be posted here in December 2008.

The Division of Social Medicine and Health Inequalities at Brigham and Women's Hospital also offers internship opportunities during the summer for undergraduates, recent graduates and master's candidates. Interns are based in Boston and asked to cover a wide variety of tasks, ranging from administrative support to assistance with research and preparation of presentations.
