A graduate student internship is an opportunity for students to connect with industry leaders, gain practical experience, and develop skills, while exploring their career interests in a supervised, public health setting. Internships create a platform for students to take what they are learning in the classroom and apply it to meaningful, challenging projects. @UMichSPH graduates are often sought by employers specifically for their rigorous academic coursework and hands-on experience. The Public Health Practice & Global Engagement team at Michigan Public Health has a variety of funding opportunities for international student internships. #internship #globalinternship #publichealth #globalhealth #studyabroad #gradstudent #scholarship

At @UMichSPH, 2025 was a year of turning questions into solutions. Our faculty and students contributed over 1,100 peer-reviewed publications—tackling everything from AI-driven health equity to climate resilience, mental health, and cancer risks in frontline workers. With $107 million in research funding, we invested in knowledge that makes a tangible difference for communities near and far.
