Health Service Internship - HSI at UC Berkeley

The Health Service Internship (HSI) program is a 3-unit, Pass/No Pass semester-long program that places students in internships with community and non-profit organizations throughout the Bay Area, with emphasis on public health. Past internships have ranged across a variety of interests, including but not limited to internships with youth mentorship programs, resource centers for cancer patients,

food justice organizations, and refugee health centers. Intern duties can also vary and are determined by the organizations and their needs, and interns can gain exposure to methods such as direct service provision, health education campaigns and public policy/advocacy, to name a few. Coupled with the internship, students actively learn about major issues in the field of public health in a weekly discussion section. This class offers the intimacy and confidentiality necessary to approach public health from an unbiased, holistic angle. For more info, contact HSI Coordinator Hannah Habibi at [email protected]
